Had a great time at APA in Chicago. The CE workshop on Virtual Reality Therapy for Anxiety was sold out a week before the convention! Lots of interest growing among psychologists in using VR in psychotherapy.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES I am forwarding this information created by Dr Ken Pope: Many psychologists, counselors, physicians, and other professionals volunteer their time, energy, and skills to help those in need. Today I updated and expanded a web page to help professionals find volunteer opportunities that match your interests, values, and available time.... The web page provides links to and brief descriptions of diverse projects seeking volunteers. The projects range from one end of the continuume.g., those asking only a few hours of your time on a one-time-only basis with no further commitment or one hour per week in your own office providing therapyto the other end of the continuume.g., those involving relatively short trips or longer stays in another country. You can also give vital professional services online, e.g., through the United Nation's program in which professionals communicate online with grassroots organizations, international NGOs, local governments, educational institutions, and United Nations agencies to help meet developmental challenges. The resources include: 1) national programs in the U.S. (e.g., United We Serve, RSVP, Red Cross, programs for returning veterans and their families, National Social Justice Initiative); 2) programs focusing on other countries, continents, or areas (e.g., Psychology Beyond Borders; Doctors Without Borders, Counselors Without Borders, Info Nepal, Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos, Teach With Africa, International Rescue Committee); 3) organizations that match individuals looking to volunteer with agencies and projects seeking volunteers (e.g., Health Care Volunteer, AAAS "On Call" Scientists, International Health Volunteer, Volunteer Match, Global Volunteer Network); and 4) local programs (e.g., Greater Victoria Citizens' Counselling Centre in Victoria; The Ark in Chicago; Walk-In Counseling Center in Minneapolis; & Volunteers in Psychotherapy in Hartford). PLEASE FORWARD THIS ANNOUNCEMENT to any lists or individuals who might be interested in these resources.
