Dear Dr. Johnson:

The American Psychological Association Minority Fellowship Program is hosting a summit, "Interdisciplinary Summit on the Opioid Crisis: Addressing Racial, Ethnic and Socioeconomic Disparities."  The one-day summit will be held in the fall of 2019 in Washington, DC and is the first phase of a project to address the opioid crisis for underserved populations.

The goal is to use an interdisciplinary approach to bring stakeholders together to provide clarity on the history and current state of the opioid crisis for racial and ethnic minorities and low SES populations.  Participants will be expected to:

• Participate in a panel and/or assigned work group
• Collaborate with work group members to create a schedule for follow up meetings
• Agree to a commitment of up to 1 year to complete work group activities

Based on the relevance of Division 28 to this effort, we would like to know if you are interested in sending a representative to participate in the Opioid Summit and lend their expertise to the Training/Education panel/workgroup. We will send a formal invitation to the representative that you name with more details when we receive confirmation of your division's interest in participating.  If you are interested, please respond to Alex Watt at awatt@apa.org with the name, email and telephone number of your representative at your earliest convenience.  

 

We look forward to hearing from you, thank you.
