Nominate a Champion!
The Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) has launched a new initiative called Psychology Speaks. Through this initiative, we want to bring the good work of psychological science and practice to the Canadian public. We want to be able to offer specific examples of the kinds of research psychologists do and what kinds of skills they bring to health, school, the workplace and the any number of settings in which psychologists do applied work.
CPA is inviting members and affiliates who are researchers and practitioners across Canada to submit a description of the work you do, up to a maximum of 400 words. Submissions will be posted on CPA’s website and will be used to develop a variety of advocacy and public-awareness materials, which CPA will use with partner organizations, funders and the public, to promote what psychologists do.
*Note: There is currently no deadline for this project, as we plan to create several videos in 2014 and again in 2015.
Parlons psychologie
La Société canadienne de psychologie (SCP) a lancé une nouvelle initiative appelée Parlons psychologie. Dans le cadre de cette initiative, nous voulons faire connaître au public canadien le bon travail qui s’effectue en science et en pratique de la psychologie. Dans un même temps, nous voulons être en mesure de donner des exemples précis du genre de recherche qu’effectuent les psychologues et les compétences qu’ils apportent dans les secteurs de la santé, de l’éducation et du travail ainsi que tous les autres domaines où leur travail est en demande.
La SCP invite les membres et les affiliés qui sont chercheurs ou praticiens partout au Canada à soumettre une description d’au plus 400 mots de leur travail.
Ces articles seront publiés sur le site Web de la SCP et serviront de base à l’élaboration de divers documents de représentation ou de sensibilisation du public. La SCP les utilisera avec les organismes partenaires auprès des bailleurs de fonds et du public dans le but de promouvoir les activités des psychologues.
