Bilingual Psychologists SIG Update

By Hannah Jones, PhD
Bilingual Psychologists SIG Co-Chair

In late March, the Bilingual Psychologists SIG hosted a virtual networking event focused on sharing bilingual resources with SIG members. Since then, members have been invited to continue to add to the bilingual resource drive as well as request resources they need on a wish list document. Bilingual resources are available on the drive in a few different languages and focus on bilingual clinical care, training, and assessment. Furthermore, we have been collaborating with the Evidence-Based Practice in Child and Adolescent Mental Health (EPCAMH) on a special issue focused on considerations in bilingual child and adolescent clinical care delivery, research, assessment, and training. We will be sending out a Call for Papers shortly and will be hosting an event with SIG members who might be interested in collaborating and submitting papers. Additionally, we are planning on hosting a virtual networking back to school event for our SIG student members at the beginning of the fall.

Look for more information about these events coming soon. The most up-to-date information will be available on our listserv. We continue to invite all interested psychologists and trainees who are bilingual to join the Bilingual Psychologists Special Interest Group. To be added to the Bilingual Psychologists Listserv contact Kelly Banneyer at knbanney@texaschildrens.org (you must be a SCCAP member to join the listserv).
