Hello APA Division 28 Members!

 

Just a friendly reminder that we are looking to recruit students who are interested in volunteering for several positions with Division 28. These positions provide an excellent opportunity for professional service, networking, CV building, and having an impact at APA and Division 28. Additionally, these positions bolster the student's likelihood of serving as Division 28's Student Representatives.

 

These positions include:

• Assistant Editor for our Divisional Newsletter. Responsibilities include assisting our Newsletter Editor, Dr. Meredith Berry, in compiling columns from executive committee members as well as collaboratively writing the Diversity Column and Spotlight article. Newsletters are sent out quarterly. Meetings with Dr. Berry would occur as needed. Further questions can be directed to mberry@ufl.edu.
• Positions on the Diversity Committee. Responsibilities include attending Diversity Committee meetings (monthly or bimonthly) to provide student perspectives & input on diversity-, inclusion-, and antiracism-related initiatives. Some work may be required between meetings to further student-relevant initiatives. Further questions can be directed to Dr. Wendy Lynch (wjl6w@virginia.edu) and Dr. Kelly Dunn (kdunn9@jhmi.edu) .

All positions require a 1-year commitment. Division 28 welcomes all students to apply for these positions; the only eligibility requirement is graduate student standing as of January 2021. We encourage applications from students from backgrounds that have been typically underrepresented in science and research.

If you know of others who may be interested in this opportunity, please share this information with them.

[#DIV28SUPER] FJC web series

Dear Division 28 Members,

Jason Cantone, a friend and colleague, who is the APA Council Representative for Division 41 (American Psychology-Law Society), works at The Federal Judicial Center, the research and education branch for the U.S. federal court system, and led an effort to create a web series on the opioid crisis and the courts. The series can be found here: https://www.fjc.gov/content/343128/opioid-crisis

Perhaps of most interest to Division 28's membership, it includes an interview with a psychologist, Division 28 President-Elect Kelly Dunn, on what judges should know about how psychologists treat individuals with opioid use disorder. It also includes a segment from psychologist Dr. Cathy Thompson, National Chief of Drug Treatment Programs at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, on how the Bureau of Prisons handles opioid use disorder in incarcerated settings and prepares inmates for reentry. Both segments discuss the use of CBT and chronic pain management.  

There are also segments featuring federal judges, a state court chief justice, CDC Director Dr. Redfield, and both the first-ever and current deputy directors of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, among others. 

If anyone has comments, they can direct them to Jason A. Cantone, J.D., Ph.D., at jasoncantone@gmail.com.

I hope you find this series informative and useful! The series is available to the public, so please feel free to share widely.

-Bill Stoops.
