Acute, Intensive, & Residential Services SIG Update

By Alysha Thompson, PhD
Chair, AIRS SIG

This past quarter, the AIRS SIG has hosted a number of coffee hours focused on topics specific to acute, intensive, and residential settings. These coffee hours are offered monthly and highlight discussion about relevant topics. Recent coffee hours have included:

• Presentation and discussion of a rapid stabilization pathway created to decrease length of stay on an inpatient unit
• Early Career coffee hours held monthly to create community for early career psychologists in AIR settings
• Research Collaboration – discussion regarding implementation of research in AIR settings
• Microaggressions in acute care

We are looking forward to seeing folks and connecting at APA 2023!

• Join us for a Critical Discussion led by members of the executive board of the AIRS SIG entitled: Helping or harming?: Effectiveness and iatrogenesis in child/adolescent inpatient psychiatry units. This will be held Friday August 4 at 8:00 AM.

The AIRS SIG will also be hosting a social hour at APA in the SCCAP (Division 53) Suite, Friday August 4, at 11:00 AM.
