Do you know someone who deserves recognition for their exceptional community service in the field of psychoanalytic psychology? The NCSPP 2023 Community Service Award seeks to honor individuals or mental health organizations that have shown outstanding dedication to building stronger communities and promoting social well-being. We believe that this crucial work often goes unnoticed and want to acknowledge those who have invested their time and energy into this cause. Nominations of individuals or organizations led by people of color are encouraged. Nominees should demonstrate excellence in leadership, creative commitment to social welfare, and a strong dedication to community service. 

If you would like to nominate someone or an organization for recognition, please provide a detailed paragraph explaining why you believe they deserve to be honored. It is not necessary for nominees to be affiliated with NCSPP, and if you have previously nominated someone who did not win, you are welcome to nominate them again.

We will announce the award in the January Impulse.
