Applications for the BPS Student Committee Bursary are OPEN! 📬 The BPS wants to put provisions in place for students from underrepresented backgrounds in higher education to reduce the barriers to accessing important academic, professional, and networking opportunities with the BPS. Therefore, the BPS Student Committee has launched a bursary scheme to offer financial support of up to £150 (GBP) to eligible university students. This funding is intended to assist with travel/event costs for British Psychological Society events or conferences. You must be a BPS Student Member and meet at least one of the following criteria... - You’re the first in your family to attend university - You live in a neighbourhood where few people typically go to university - You are a care leaver or estranged student - You have a disability - You come from an ethnic minority background - You are an asylum seeker This list is not exhaustive. If you think your circumstances align with the aims of this bursary but aren’t listed above, you are still encouraged to apply! Every application will be considered on an individual basis. For more details and to apply, head to the ‘Student Committee Bursary’ button on the BPS Student Member webpage (see below) 💻 https://lnkd.in/ekYPAmqH

✨💻CPD WEBINAR FOR DSEP MEMBERS 💻 ✨ We are delighted to have Josephine Perry leading a webinar entitled 'ADHD in Sport' for all BPS Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology members later this month. Some athletes with ADHD describe it as their superpower; seeing that the creativity, hyperfocus and speedy decision making amplifies their potential sporting success. Other athletes with ADHD find that narrative infuriating as they try to handle executive dysfunctions, emotional dysregulation and difficulties in focusing alongside the frustrations of trying to thrive in a sporting world that is not designed with their brain in mind. Dr Josephine Perry has recently published a book (ADHD in Sport: Strategies for Success) written with all these athletes in mind; from juniors starting out in school teams through to elites making their careers in professional sport and adults using sport to stay mentally regulated, maintain social connections and boost confidence. In this webinar she will bring to life key lessons from the book and offer advice and tools so you, as a Sport Psychologist, can support athletes with ADHD through their sporting journey. The details for this event are... 📑 ADHD in Sport Webinar 📅 Wednesday April 30th, 2025 ⏲️ 19:00 If you are available and interested in attending, please sign up using the link below: https://lnkd.in/eGTr5CHZ Spaces are limited so don't hesitate to secure your place! ✨
