The Committee on Children, Youth and Families of the American Psychological Association would like to invite Division 16 members to an open meeting at the 2015 APA annual convention in Toronto.
The open meeting is for practitioners and intended to gather practitioner input on the framing and format of a youth mental health disparities resource guide for practitioners. The goal of the resource guide is to inform practitioners about mental health disparities and mechanisms among ethnic and racial minority youth, and to offer clinical and advocacy strategies for addressing youth mental health disparities. The open meeting will take place from 10am-12pm on August 6th, 2015, in the Public Interest (PI) Hospitality suite located in the Fairmont Royal York hotel. The room will be determined a few days prior to the meeting. Refreshments will be served. RSVP appreciated by July 15th to achatman@apa.org.
