Advocacy in Military Psychology Summit
 
November 6 (7:30-5:00) and November 7 (8:00-3:00)
Catholic University, Washington, D.C.

We are very excited about all the interest that has been created for the upcoming Advocacy in Military Psychology Summit. The Society for Military Psychology (Division 19, American Psychological Association), along with the Washington, D.C. Psychological Association (DCPA), is sponsoring a two-day summit on advocacy and military psychology.  Attendees can join the conference in person or via webinar. This Summit brings together thought leaders in our field from multiple arenas, including assessment and selection, coach-leadership, mindfulness, moral injury and trauma, prescribing psychology, suicide prevention, technology and tele-health, and transitioning veterans. Day 1 (November 6), panels will discuss the current state in these areas, as well as advocacy for policy ideas for the military. 
 
Military psychologists serve in many domains, including consultation to community leaders such as educational, federal, state, and local officials as well as the private sector, and non-profit organizations. The second day of this summit (November 7) will “give back” to the community with consultation services for organizations like Tragedy Assistance Programs for Survivors, Sierra Cub Military Outdoors, The Mission Continues. Workhouse Arts Center, Serving Together, Real Warriors, inTransition, Mission at Ease, and Lone Star Warriors. 
 
Our hope for this summit is for you to experience an exciting and informational exchange of ideas on a variety of topics to support the military community. There will be opportunities to connect with others and learn from a diverse group of professionals from academia, clinical, consulting, organizational, operational, research psychology and community organizations. This is a great opportunity to network, learn about current findings in military psychology, and accrue APA sponsored continuing education credits.
