We, the staff in APA’s Early Career & Graduate Student Affairs, continue to offer our best wishes for your safety and well-being. This is our second “pandemic care package” and we’ve hand-picked a few of the top resources provided by APA and related organizations to assist you during this time. Please feel free to share this with your networks.
New resources:
- We are building a “Staying on Track” webinar series on Wednesdays at noon Eastern, All sessions will be recorded and made available; if you can’t tune in live, you can still register. (Related: APA’s new podcast on financial anxiety.)
- Join 600+ peers and counting in the APAGS Facebook group to discuss COVID-19 related concerns. A sampling of threads includes tele-assessment, self-care strategies, and sluggish training adaptations.
- For health service psychology interns and postdocs, APPIC is releasing new resources, and APA and APPIC co-hosted a webinar for training directors last week on ways to keep trainees engaged while prioritizing their safety (access the recording and transcript). For supervisors, UNT offers a boilerplate manual on moving your training program to telehealth.
- For job seekers, one of the only psychologists in the business of executive search consulting offers tips for seeking a new job during a pandemic.
- APA is offering free membership to new doctorates.
Continuing resources:
- We’ve revamped and continue to update APA’s COVID-19 information and resource page – this is worth bookmarking. See also our subpage on trainee-specific FAQs.
- Sign up for office hours with Dr. Eddy Ameen (associate executive director of APA Early Career & Graduate Student Affairs) on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons.
- Subscribe to gradPSYCHblog which just released new posts on managing graduate school and working from home. We invite student submissions.
