From the President of the Wyoming Psychological Association
Recently, a survey was sent out from the Wyoming Psychological Association about topics that impact psychologists across the state, as well as those who are licensed here, but can’t join us in this pristine beauty.
COVID-19 Resources
Since many state and local orgs are collecting and disseminating resources, we want to make sure you are aware of a few the National Register has available to the public.
– The National Register COVID-19 Resource page is being constantly updated with relevant information for providers delivering psychology services
– Free! 3-hour telepsychology video from the 2019 National Practice Conference
– The National Register is adding three (for now) webinars in the coming month to help improve psychologists’ competency in telepsychology service delivery. Please visit the Web Conferences page for further information.
– The National Register back in March performed a rapid survey of psychologists to see how the pandemic had impacted their practice, and published the results in our peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Health Service Psychology. We recently did a 6-month follow up to that original survey, and the results will be published in next month’s JHSP.
Our Vision
In the frontier State of Wyoming, the WPA recognizes the need to pursue a mutually supportive, strong community of psychologists and other healthcare providers who work together to enhance the quality of life for all people living in the State.
The National Register of Health Services Psychologists, our partner, has timely information for all mental health professionals. There is a webinar available for WPA members and be sure to checkout the current newsletter.
The WPA leaders and members believe strong Psychologist and Mental Health Professional involvement in the issues critical to our professions is essential to protect and expand mental health in Wyoming. One of the best ways to increase your involvement in those issues is by participation in the WPA.
Psychologists and Masters level providers in mental health are also welcomed to join the ranks of WPA. Please navigate to the Membership page as shown on the left or contact the WPA for details.
