Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming embedded in psychological practice. Drs.

They will conclude with a short, applied section illustrating how AI can be used responsibly in everyday practice.

Webinar: Advocating to Policy Decision Makers
Join CPA to learn what advocacy looks like and how to make a persuasive case to lawmakers to benefit your community and profession. Clinicians, educators, researchers and students’ training and experience give them unique insights into key issues facing the nation. They can use those insights to inform the government as it works on solutions for those issues. However, many people do not know where to start.
This virtual training will explain what opportunities are available when getting started with advocacy, and then focus on how to make a compelling case to lawmakers and your peers in meetings. There will be opportunities to practice these skills with fellow attendees through exercises during the training. As part of our planned exercises, we will also provide an overview of federal and state activities on funding for behavioral health programs and the impact on population health.
