Encourage, enable and disseminate research and scholarship in critical health psychology and provide opportunities for debate and discussion in this field.

Provide a forum for scrutinising, challenging and questioning what is said and done in the purported pursuit of promoting and improving "health" by health psychologists and others.

Operate as a community of scholars (in the widest definition of that term and absolutely not restricted to people with formal affiliations to a university or other academic body), offering each other mutual support in the pursuit of critical approaches to health.

In particular, nurture and help career-young and emerging scholars in the field, and engage with and learn from communities and groups conventionally excluded or under-represented.
