We look forward to coming together this summer to share our science and learn from one another at APA in Washington, D.C.! We are excited to offer our members and others a wide range of programming through SCCAP oriented towards our theme of “Innovation and Impact,” which we hope will provide key insights towards the future of clinical and scientific efforts within our field.

APA 2023 will be held in person, although we will host one virtual poster session. We hope you’ll be able to join us for programming that is planned to strengthen and advance practice, share the most cutting-edge research, and facilitate collaborative learning to support the development of skills and broaden understanding of important clinical child and adolescent psychology issues. Registration is open! Visit https://convention.apa.org/ for updated event information!

Be sure to also attend our two poster sessions as well as our suite programming at the Mariott Hotel. Presentations on research and practice include topics related to developmental psychopathology, innovation in intervention and prevention, and how child and adolescent clinical psychologists can leverage technology and measurement to maximize treatment and mental health outcomes. We are looking forward to meeting in August and hope to connect. Keep an eye on our social media updates on Twitter @SCCAP53, or email us at apaconvention@sccap53.org with questions, ideas, and hopes for APA 2023!
