ABOUT US
The Essex-Union County Association of Psychologists (EUCAP) is an organization of psychologists who live and/or work in the Essex and Union County region of New Jersey. EUCAP is an affiliate of the New Jersey Psychological Association (NJPA). Members include licensed psychologists in private practice, those with psychology permits or practicing psychology without licenses but in exempt settings, psychology professors, and graduate psychology students.
HISTORY
In 1958, sixteen psychologists collaborated to form the Essex County Society of Clinical Psychologists in Private Practice. This long title was soon abbreviated to "Triple P." In 1981, the organization was renamed The Essex County Psychological Association. However, membership grew to include surrounding locations, including Union, Morris, Middlesex, and Somerset Counties, requiring yet another name change to the Society of Psychologists in Private Practice ("S Triple P"). By 2007, with the formation of regional affiliate groups throughout the state, our membership continued to draw upon psychologists primarily in the two original counties, Essex and Union. With membership expansion that now includes associate and student members, as well as those working in agencies or schools, the organization was renamed the Essex-Union County Association of Psychologists (EUCAP).
PURPOSES
EUCAP's purposes include:
Promoting and supporting psychology as a profession,
Supporting NJPA in its mission, purposes and programs,
Educating and encouraging EUCAP members to support the political, legislative, and ethical initiatives of NJPA and the American Psychological Association (APA), Promoting the science of psychology as a means of enhancing human welfare,
Providing continuing education programs for psychologists,
Fostering amiable relationships among psychologists and members of other professions,
Engaging in other business and professional activities, including those that are calculated, directly or indirectly, to promote the interests of the organization and its members, and
Reaching out to the general community and providing services of benefit to those who seek our help.
BENEFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES
EUCAP membership facilitates professional activities in many different ways that address both personal and professional needs. Meetings include presentations on clinical and practice issues, and allow for networking and socializing with colleagues. As a small, member-friendly organization we offer several events and activities for colleagues and guests.
EUCAP offers opportunities to meet with other psychologists with similar interests. Members can share ideas and information about clinical issues with colleagues, learn about relevant local, state, and national issues, and become active in several ways to address personal and professional needs.
EUCAP invites all members to attend social and professional meetings and events, join committees, and participate in projects pertinent to practice concerns. Other benefits include receipt of regular news updates and action alerts, website access, and publication of individual practice information in a biannual directory.
All members have the opportunity to help shape the organization to better meet our needs and goals. We encourage members to participate actively in EUCAP by joining a committee, offering ideas for programs and projects, and becoming a member of the Executive Board, in addition to attending meetings.
