APA 2025 is just months away! Come join us in Denver, Colorado as we celebrate our 26th anniversary as a division!

Our excitement for the upcoming 2025 APA Convention this August in Denver, Colorado is growing! We recently finished reviewing an incredible set of thought-provoking and stimulating proposals from our members. Similar to the last two conventions, this year’s programming will include both in-person and virtual presentations. We hope this opportunity continues to provide members with the chance to engage, even if you are unable to attend in-person.

Our symposia and skill-building sessions this year will include topics related to our SCCAP mission of integrating science to practice and practice to science. We received a number of thoughtful poster presentations, symposia, and skill-building sessions this year. A few examples include therapists’ perceptions of evidence-based practice, the effect of parenting strategies on children’s academic and behavioral outcomes, development and implementation of novel therapy methods, and the impact of adverse childhood experiences on adolescent mental health. Several of our skill-building sessions will offer continuing education credits by APA.

We are still in the process of finalizing our division’s programming. It is clear from the quality, depth, and breadth of submissions we have received that members of our division have engaged in highly relevant and impactful research and clinical work. Decisions on submissions will be sent out by APA in March and our program schedule will be finalized by mid-April.  Please check in at either the APA website or the SCCAP website (www.sccap53.org) or follow our SCCAP X (@SCCAP53) and Instagram (@sccap53) handles for additional updates!
