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.

Date: September 10, 2025

ACT NOW! Demand the Administration Preserve Access to Psychology Services! 

Dear CPA Members, 

APA has just released an Action Alert on the CMS (Centers For Medicare and Medicaid) 2026 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Proposed Rule. This impacts all of us in the field as it not only sets federal reimbursement policy but influences coverage decisions across the entire health care system. 

CMS’ annual PFS proposed rule has serious implications across health care. Because this rule has a strong influence on coverage and reimbursement policies in other health care programs, all psychologists — whether they are consultants, researchers, clinicians, educators, or students — have a stake in this rule!

I ask that you take two minutes of your time to comment to CMS and to take another two minutes to share this action alert with your networks! In past years, our advocacy has made a huge difference including helping to permanently protect access to psychology through telehealth beyond the COVID crisis.  Please click here to learn more and participate! 

You can simply click here and there is a pre-composed template that you can use in its entirety or you can personalise the message in any way that is relevant for you. Either way, please comment by September 12, 2025 to ensure that your comments are received! 

In case you missed it– CPA is hosting a timely Continuing Education Webinar entitled “Advocating to Policy Decision Makers” on September 10th from 8 am to 10:30 am MST. You can still sign up here


Thank you,
