Becoming an EPPN member

If you are a professional working in paediatric psychology and based in Europe, live outside Europe but are interested in collaborations with those of us working in Europe, already have connections in Europe, or if you would simply like to support us, we would welcome you to the EPPN!

All who become members of EPPN, will also have joined the Society of Pediatric Psychology (SPP), if they were not already a member. We are very grateful to SPP for hosting EPPN as the first Regional Interest Group of SPP and for their support as we take our founding steps. SPP will have sent their own welcome email and has many professional offerings (see SPP website). SPP offerings will be available to EPPN members too, in addition to the EPPN-specific membership benefits. All this makes the SPP membership fee tremendous value for money and provides a superb supportive infrastructure to assist the development of the EPPN. Those wishing to join EPPN will do so through joining SPP.

A brief how-to

• First go to the Membership section of the SPP (see link) then follow through to achieve SPP membership.
• You will then have the option to join EPPN along the way! Simply use the drop down box on the right and select “Join a SIG/RIG/Affinity Group” and choose “EPPN” from the list which comes up. (Existing SPP members can simply log in and go to the Member Portal (Member Portal) and find the same dropbox on the right.)

Please do contact EPPN via our email address if you have any questions: info@europedpsych.com (and add this to your contacts, to avoid any future emails going into your Spam/Junk Filter).
