As we near the end of 2024 we want to remind you of the call for abstracts for Division 53 for the 2025 APA Convention on Aug 7-9 in Denver, Colorado! See below for more details. The abstract portal is now open and submissions are due by January 8, 2025: https://convention.apa.org/
This is an exciting year for the Society of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology (SCCAP)! In addition to the APA programs, webinar series, we will also be holding our inaugural THE SCCAP Conference June 5-7, 2025 in Chicago.
The SCCAP vision is to improve the mental health and resilient development of children, adolescents, and families with a full commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe in the integration of science to practice and practice to science, and welcome all submissions consistent with this vision.
We invite submissions for individual poster presentations, symposia, and skill-building sessions that bridge the science -to-practice and practice-to-science gap through:
-
Implementation and dissemination science,
-
Novel methods or designs at the individual to system level,
-
Integration of diverse partner experiences and perspectives into youth mental health
-
Case study presentations or sessions focused on applying science to practice settings
Work that aims to engage underserved and/or underrepresented youth and families in evidence-based care is especially encouraged.
We hope to receive proposals in a range of formats from a range of presenters. Perspectives from members of underrepresented groups are extremely valuable to our community and are warmly encouraged towards submission and participation in this conference. Individuals across settings and degree status (i.e., trainees, early career professionals, practicing psychologists, researchers, and academics) are all invited to submit proposals — we value your contributions to our community of learning and collaboration! Please note that if accepted, you must register for the APA convention prior to your presentation.
We look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your important work! Please direct any inquiries about proposals to the APA convention chairs, Drs. Kelsie Okamura and Sarah Dickinson.
