Bilingual Psychologists SIG Update

By Hannah Jones, PhD
Bilingual Psychologists SIG Co-Chair

The Bilingual Psychologists Special Interest Group has been hosting monthly virtual networking events throughout the year. The topics for our most recent virtual networking events included discussing and sharing resources on:

• Professional language proficiency
• Bilingual supervision
• Bilingual assessment

We also hosted a virtual networking event exclusively for bilingual students on Saturday, October 5th. The focus of the event was on building a student-focused community.

The Bilingual Psychologists SIG also hosted an in-person networking event in collaboration with the Bilingual Issues in Latinx Mental Health Special Interest Group (SIG) at the National Latinx Psychological Association (NLPA) Conference in Puerto Rico.

We want to thank everyone who participated in these events. We really enjoyed connecting with our members at these events.

Look to the listserv for more information about our next event and the zoom invite. Grab a coffee or tea and come meet, network, and strategize with other bilingual providers from across the United States!
