We are a group of therapists and supporters whose vision is to create connection and community as we work on local and global social actions.

We have on-going discussions leading to action about the costs to families of current policies such as war, corporate injustice, cuts in services, civil rights, and harm to the environment.

We reflect on how world events affect us, in and out of the clinical hour. We have general meetings, gatherings, and events in the greater Sacramento area. We welcome like-minded and like-hearted people.

To join our mailing list of over 250 therapists and supporters please contact Shauna Smith, MSW, MFT, coordinator.

See Meetings for more information.

Therapists for Social Responsibility Steering Committee

Dear Colleagues,

We are acutely aware that the principles and values we hold are disregarded in many of the policies that our government is pursuing. We have decided to voice our concerns as a collective group of mental health professionals in order to help effect positive change. We have therefore composed this Petition outlining our core principles and values and calling upon our public leaders to support those policies, legislation and programs that are in accord with our beliefs.

We are asking you to sign onto this Petition as an individual. We are also asking our professional organizations to endorse this Petition. We anticipate that by collecting thousands of signatures and publicizing this petition through a myriad of mental health professional organizations, a resounding statement can be made that is heard by our public leaders, the press and the general public. And we anticipate that this will encourage others to be active in furthering the ideals of our professions.

Please click here to sign the petition and forward this information to your colleagues and professional organizations throughout the country, with your personal note.
