Congratulations to Dr. Meredith Gruhn, our 2026 Lorraine D. Eyde Fund Grantee! 🌟 Dr. Gruhn's work explores how childhood adversity shapes adolescents' responses to stress and coping with difficult experiences. We know this work will have a meaningful impact on so many lives! 👏

It's #WhyIReviewWednesday!💙 Today, we're extending our gratitude to Dr. Jason I. Chen, an APF reviewer who volunteers his time & expertise to support the professional development of early career & student researchers. We couldn't advance the field without the support of our reviewers. 🌟

Why does psychology matter?💭 Many challenges facing humanity—marginalization, stigma, violence, the physical toll of stress and trauma—aren’t just social issues. They’re psychological ones. By translating research into real-world solutions, psychology helps people heal, connect, and thrive. 💙

At APF, we pride ourselves on our People-Powered Philanthropy. We believe the most meaningful change happens when our community comes together around a shared belief in the power of psychology to improve lives. 💙
