Founded in 1953, the UP Psychology Society (UP PsychSoc) is the oldest and most established psychology-oriented student organization in the UP System. It is a nonprofit and academic organization which aims to further the understanding of psychology in the Philippines, as well as increase awareness on mental health and decrease the stigma associated with it, through various academic symposia, workshops, and immersions. UP PsychSoc also provides opportunities for its members' enrichment, and at the same time, extends assistance to those in need, with its numerous socio-civic initiatives, such as health missions, teaching programs, and mental health care training.
