SCCAP follows the same membership year dates and billing cycle as the APA. Thus, membership applications received through the end of July will be for the current year. Members who join after the division’s central office sends mailing data to our publisher can expect that back issues will be shipped under separate cover. Applications received after August 1 will be applied to the following calendar year and your first journal may not be received until March
Evidence-based Practice in Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Evidence-based Practice in Child and Adolescent Mental Health (EPCAMH), edited by Anne Marie Albano, Ph.D., ABPP, is an official clinical journal of the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. The primary mission of the journal is dissemination of evidence-based practices to the wide range of mental health practitioners, and to increase knowledge about the expertise, scope, diversity, and practice of clinical child and adolescent psychologists. The journal welcomes clinical case studies and discussion papers, mini practice “manuals,” position and review papers, research papers that can provide a direct message for practitioners, and manuscripts focused on ethical issues, assessment and innovative therapeutics, issues in training and professional practice, history of the broad field, and opinion. Members receive hard copies of the journal as well as access through our website.
InBalance, edited by [newslettereditor], is published three times a year and offers topical features, news of interest, and important policy-related information. Recent issues have focused on board certification, multidimensional family therapy, and evidence-based treatments.

Advocacy for Children’s Mental Health
Perhaps most importantly, our strength and size offers a crucial opportunity for advocacy. Thanks to our members, SCCAP is able to work towards the improvement of children’s mental health care services at local and national levels and offer advocacy to support mental health careers and training. Because the size of our Division is directly related to our representation on APA’s Council of Representatives, our continued growth has allowed us to obtain seats on APA task forces and committees, and to participate in ongoing discussions regarding clinical child specialization and accreditation.
