Education and Standards Committee:

Updates to the Webinar Series

By Tara S. Peris, PhD

The SCCAP Education and Standards Committee is delighted to announce the 2022 lineup of webinar programming! This series is one of a number of efforts to be responsive to member needs, and it emerged directly from member requests for educational opportunities that would help them stay up–to-date on pressing issues in child and adolescent psychopathology. We develop our line-up of talks based on suggestions from our core committees, including Education & Standards, Diversity, Science & Practice, and Membership & Public Interest. Our goal is to provide a well-curated and accessible way to dig deeper into hot topics in the field, and we’ve been excited to see the large and steady attendance from our members.

Our first talk of the year, Research and Community Approaches to Adapting Evidence-Based Interventions for Diverse Youth and Families, will be given by SCCAP’s fearless leader, Anna Lau, Ph.D., on March 3 at 12pm EST. It will be followed by a webinar from our Science and Practice Committee on Evidence-Based Supervision for Children and Adolescents from Sarah Kate Bearman, Ph.D. on April 5 12pm EST.  Our next offering comes by way of our Diversity Committee and will feature  Bianca Villalobos, Ph.D. and Juventino Rodriguez, Ph.D., speaking on Telehealth CBT for Latinx Families on May 20 at 12pm EST. We have other programming still in the works, including our annual internship webinar hosted by our wonderful student representatives each July, and a talk from Eric Youngstrom, Ph.D., this year’s Bob Smith Excellence in Assessment Award Winner (and two-time former SCCAP President!). We’re continuing to develop our programming for fall and winter 2022, so stay tuned for further updates, and, as always, contact the relevant SCCAP committee to let us know the topics that interest you most. We remained focused on choosing topics and speakers with maximum appeal to our members. Finally, we encourage you to reference our website, where members can access recorded talks from earlier in our series free of charge.
