CAP About Us

ABOUT US

The Centre for Aviation Psychology

Fuelled by a passionate commitment to psychological well-being, a deep understanding of aviation and the professional skills to make a difference.

The Centre for Aviation Psychology was established in 2016 to support aviation professionals (e.g. pilots, airlines, flight schools, cabin crew, air traffic controllers and AMEs), meeting industry directives and recommendations about psychological assessment, support and mental health prevention. 

OUR MISSION

Normalising Help-Seeking Behaviour in Aviators

Wing

Asking for help is never easy. Especially not when relating to mental wellbeing, and especially not for aviators.

 

Overcoming the stigmas and jeopardy (real and perceived) is a tough challenge to address within aviation and one that we are dedicated to addressing and help leading the way.

 

By providing user friendly and confidential avenues of support we are lowering the barriers to help for aviators who need it most in their hour of need.
 

Professional Integrity

Steeped within the professionalism that underpins the integrity of both the aviation and psychology professions, we understand that user-trust defines our success. Hard won and easily lost, we nurture this trust by ensuring that our peer support programmes are accessible to users, our peers are well trained and supported, and our solutions fit operators’ requirements and quality assurances.

 

We pride ourselves in providing programmes that are both pragmatic and compliant to industry requirements. In doing so, we have quietly become beacons of best practice in this exciting and developing field.
