Protection for Early Career Psychologists


Special Discounts on Professional Liability Insurance
Your hard work has finally paid off. You made the transition from student to professional. Now you’re ready to assume more responsibility … and more liability.

The Trust understands the financial burden faced by early career psychologists. Our Trustees, who are psychologists themselves, understand that those years of study and training didn’t come without a price. That’s why the Trust has negotiated special transitional pricing to help ease at least one burden and let you focus on your new career. For less than the cost of morning coffee, you can protect yourself against a career-crippling lawsuit.

Actually, for around $111* your first year, you can join more than 40,000 of your colleagues insured under the Trust Professional Liability Insurance Program**…the nation’s largest and most comprehensive professional liability plan designed just for psychologists, by psychologists.
