PsySource

American Mensa announces PsySource, a new online directory that connects state-licensed mental health professionals with gifted people nationwide.  This is a new service from American Mensa, helping to fulfill one of the organization's primary goals - to identify and foster human intelligence.

While it is not a referral service or endorsement, the PsySource directory provides information about mental health professionals who perform
intelligence testing and provide support services to gifted people. The PsySource directory can be viewed by visiting www.us.mensa.org/PsySource. 

If you know someone who would be interested in listing their practice, please share this information with them.  Registration is quick and easy at www.us.mensa.org/PsySignUp.   State licensure will be verified for all mental health professionals listed.
