Clinical Child & Adolescent Practice SIG Update
By Megan Lawson, PsyD, ABPP
Chair, Clinical Child and Adolescent Practice SIG
Changes are taking place in the CCAP SIG! We are so grateful to Jill Thurber, PhD for her longstanding commitment to serving this group and for all of the work she put in over the past years. Hers will be big shoes to fill! The Clinical Child and Adolescent Special Intertest Group has a new slate of board members starting January 1, 2025 to include:
- Chair: Megan Lawson, PsyD, ABPP
- Secretary: Mary Collins, PsyD
- Student Rep: Leslie Musgrove, PsyD
- Member at large: Priscilla Morrison, PsyD
- Member at large: Alecia Zalot, PhD
- Liaison to SCCAP Practice Committee: Jacqueline Herrera, PsyD
We have openings for the Listserv Manager, Webinar-CE Coordinator, SCCAP Poster Award Coordinator, and Liaison to the APA Practice Directorate positions and invite volunteers to reach out if they are interested in any of these positions. This is a great way to collaborate on the clinical care of children and adolescents and serve our broader APA community.
While we are just getting started on planning for this coming year and have several topics and trainings brewing, we are committed to serving in line with our primary goal to create a venue for networking and consultation among psychologists who engage in primarily clinical child and adolescent practice. This model will include the following:
- Hosting three 1-hour informal clinical conversations with themes related to working with child and adolescent patients.
- Helping clinicians stay current on evidenced-based practices for treating children and adolescents through networking.
- Promoting awareness and advocacy for the mental health treatment of children and adolescents within the broader community.
- Provide support for ongoing clinical engagement.
We welcome new members, especially any interested in serving and having a role on the board! This should be an exciting year for the CCAP SIG.
