SAMD EVENT: "Toward Right Relationship with Native People”
Posted: March 21, 2019
Date: Tuesday, April 9, 2019
Time: 7:00pm – 9:00 pm
Location: Parkhill United Methodist Church, 5209 Montview Blvd, Denver (NW corner of intersection at Montview and Glencoe)
This event is a monthly group conversation/workshop for individuals interested in participating in an open discussion of inter-racial issues. There is an emphasis on current events within a historical context and how issues of race, ethnicity, gender and other aspects of our identity interact with the cultural communities in which we live. Ever respectful of differing opinions, participants are encouraged to discuss racial/cultural issues in an inclusive, nonjudgmental way. The activity for the April meeting as described by Boulder Friends is:
"An experiential workshop tracing the historic and ongoing impacts of the Doctrine of Discovery, the 15th-century justification for European subjugation of non-Christian peoples. Our goal is to raise our level of knowledge and concern about these impacts, recognize them in ourselves and our institutions, and explore how we can begin to take actions toward right relationship with Native peoples."
For those interested in attending this event, we ask you to come to the Omonoia Greek Bakery (free coffee or tea to the first 10 arriving) to meet with other members of the CPA community attending this event. If unable to attend the pre-event meeting, please join us at Parkhill United Methodist Church. All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you there.

2019 Green Symposium - One Month Away!
Posted: February 9, 2019
Date: April 8, 2019
Time: 9:00am - 12:00pm
Location: COPIC Insurance Company, Mile High room
**Online Registration closes Thursday, April 4th
Join CPA and presenter Dr. Stuyt for her program on Monday, April 8 from 9:00am - 12:00pm. The Green Symposium is an annual gathering hosted by the Colorado Psychological Association. The Symposium focuses on the latest developments and research findings regarding cannabis. It began in 2017 in an effort to disseminate information to behavioral health care providers and others in the treatment community.
Marijuana Impact Assessment – The Consequences of High Potency THC Marijuana
Dr. Stuyt, MD
Level of Programming: Introductory
Program Description: Advocates for the legalization of medical and retail marijuana are quick to point out all the possible benefits that a community might see from such a venture. These include increased jobs, increased tax revenue, possible medical benefits and they advertise it as “safe” and “healthy” and “organic”. They utilize the words “cannabis” and “marijuana” for everything without differentiating between the different forms of cannabis that can have very different effects on the mind and body. However, without any clear guidelines or regulations from government officials, the cannabis industry has taken a page from the tobacco and alcohol industries’ play book and developed strains of marijuana and concentrated marijuana products with much higher concentrations of THC, the psychoactive component that causes addiction. Dr. Stuyt will cover how marijuana use contributes to addiction, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and psychosis.
**3 CE Credits Available!
CE Price: $25.00
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the difference between different forms of cannabis including hemp, CBD products and high potency THC plants and concentrates.
- Describe the effect of THC on the developing brain.
- Discuss the role high potency THC cannabis plays in addiction, anxiety, depression, suicide, psychosis and cognitive impairment.
 The Colorado Psychological Association is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. CPA maintains responsibility for this program and its contents.

CPA Statement: Argosy University
"We at CPA are aware of the far reaching implications that the recent closure of Argosy University can and will have on Colorado psychologists who received their training from this institution, as well as for the current students who are left to fend for themselves as Argosy dissolves. This closure is affecting up to 9,600 students, and many of our nation’s legislators are aware of the issue and confronting the Department of Education and demanding action in the name of those affected. Last Tuesday, on 3/12, CPA President-elect Dr. Rick Ginsberg, CPA Executive Director Kim Gill, and myself personally handed a letter to each of Colorado’s representatives explaining how the closure of Argosy University is not only deeply disruptive to the lives of these students, but also, will have a negative impact on workforce development, and on our ability to serve the behavioral health needs of our country moving forward. Attached is a link to a letter that you can send to Secretary Betsy DeVos in support of those who are affected by this closure, https://www.apa.org/advocacy/higher-education/devos-letter.pdf. CPA will also be providing resources as they become available and will share in-the-moment information as we become aware of it."

The American Psychological Association is offering this hour-long webinar on records and credentials banking to Argosy University's psychology graduate students and alumni in light of the school's closure.

The webinar will feature presentations on the mechanics of banking, and an extensive Q&A period with two panelists: Dr. Mariann Burnetti-Atwell, the CEO of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards, and Dr. Morgan Sammons, the CEO of the National Register of Health Service Psychologists. Both organizations offer banking free of charge to AU students and alums. The webinar will be hosted by Dr. Eddy Ameen, associate executive director of APA's Early Career and Graduate Student Affairs. Dr. Ameen will provide some introductory information about APA's efforts to support members of the AU community and remind attendees about the updated resources at www.apa.org/apags/argosy.
Please note that while this presentation is exclusively on banking credentials and other records, if you have ideas for additional AU-related webinars that you'd like to see from APA, please share those when you register.
