Membership Committee Update

Membership Committee Update

By Chrissy Cammaratta, PhD, ABPP
Member-At-Large: Membership and Public Interest

We recently finished another successful APA convention in Washington DC celebrating the belonging and diversity of our profession. We continue to have a strong group and it’s clear how wide our membership’s reach really is when we all come together in one place.

I am very excited to welcome our newest SIG the Summer Treatment Program (STP) SIG , led by Sarah Tannenbaum and Katie Hart. The goal of the STP SIG is to provide a professional forum to share emerging or promising practices and interventions that can enhance STPs by increasing access, promoting equity, increasing diversity, improving training practices for the next generation of child mental health practitioners, and incorporating more family/shareholder feedback and voice into intervention strategies. If you are interested in this evidence-based treatment for kids with ADHD or want to learn more, please visit our website or reach out to co-chairs Sarah (stannenbaum@bakercenter.org) or Katie (khart@fiu.edu).

Our SIGs are growing. If you haven’t already, please check out our other Special Interest Group list. See below for our current groups which are free to all members- join now at www.SCCAP53.org.

• The Acute Intensive and Residential Services (AIRS) SIG
• Infancy and Early Childhood SIG
• Emerging Adulthood SIG
• Clinical Child and Adolescent Practitioner SIG
