The Society for Occupational Health Psychology (SOHP) is the first professional group of its kind in the United States.

The goals of this partnership include the improvement of the quality of people’s working lives and the enhancement of the safety, health, and well-being of workers.

The Annual Convention of the Association for Psychological Science took place in New York City from May 25 to May 28, 2006. We attended the convention and had a number of goals that we wanted to accomplish: assume a position on the graduate student board, present at a poster session, attend various conference events, and recruit conferees for the Society for Occupational Health Psychology. It is the last goal about which we are writing. We hope that this article will help our SOHP colleagues recruit, at some future time, new members for our organization.

A self-report questionnaire that measured help-seeking intentions, prior help-seeking experiences, and depression was administered.

Young people are less likely to seek help if they: are experiencing suicidal …
