2009 Convention Call for Programs

Jean Keim, PhD
Division 49 Program Chair
The deadline for proposals for the 2009 APA Convention in Toronto was December 1, 2008, and is now closed for this year.

As in the past, the Division 49 encouraged a wide variety of submissions (individual, group, and poster) including best practices, interactive formats and sessions offering continuing education hours. The Division 49 theme is “Prevention Groups.” Specifically, experiential sessions are encouraged focusing on groups to prepare people for adversity, to develop competencies to ward off distress and dysfunction, to advocate for system changes, and to promote social justice.
Contact Jean Keim, Program Chair, at jkeim@unm.edu, with questions.
