It is nothing that most others are attempting to do. We just use the avenue of psychology and mental health to do it.”
Psi Chi is an international honor society for psychology students, and since its inception, the LCU chapter has inducted more than 200 members.
According to its website, Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, was founded in 1929 with a mission to encourage excellence in scholarship and advance the science of psychology.
LCU Psi Chi will host the event to bring awareness and empathy to today’s social issues. A community awareness fair was held to let the area residents learn about the services available to them, including mental health and other health services and food pantries.
