Scientific Committee

The primary aim of this committee is organizing educational activities, yearly conferences, trainings and workshops for the LPA community and mental health professionals in Lebanon and the Middle East.

Licensing Committee

Since the establishment of LPA and after 15+ years of continuous efforts, LPA leaders and members played an instrumental role in establishing the licensing criteria for practice in Lebanon for clinical and educational psychologists, with the support of the Ministry of Public Health and the National Mental Health program. Several members such as Dr. Brigitte Khoury (LPA founding president) and Dr. Leila Dirani (LPA past president) were part of a ministerial commission to draft the licensing laws and guidelines for practice, and to implement the law once it was approved by the Lebanese parliament in December 2017.
