Bilingual Psychologists SIG Update

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

The Bilingual Psychologists SIG also hosted our first in-person networking event in collaboration with Division 54 of APA at the Society of Pediatric Psychology Annual Conference (SPPAC).

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

We are still looking to fill the Secretary and Treasurer positions on our Executive Board! We also would love to have an executive board member that is bilingual in another language other than Spanish to be able to provide additional perspectives and tailor events to meet the need of the diverse field of bilingual clinicians.
