The Task Force on Serious Mental Illness and Severe Emotional Disturbance (TFSMI/SED) is seeking nominations for six members, each to serve a three-year term beginning at the APA Convention in August 2019 and ending August 2022. 

The TFSMI/SED was established in 1994 by the APA Council of Representatives and currently falls under the oversight of the Board of Professional Affairs (BPA).  Current priorities of the TFSMI/SED include:

• Defining and supporting the unique contributions of psychologists in working with populations with SMI or SED within the changing mental health marketplace.
• Making recommendations to APA / APA Services Inc. concerning practice, research, training, and advocacy issues related to the treatment of people who experience SMI or SED.
• Provide trainings / contribute to the development of educational materials to promote clinical education of psychologists and provide practice resources for recovery and improved outcomes for people with SMI or SED.
• Strengthening relationships with groups of people with lived experience, family groups, and advocacy groups, and other professional organizations whose focus is ameliorating the effects of SMI or SED.
• Identifying ways psychologists can function most effectively in treating individuals with SMI or SED in organized systems of care.
• Contribute to and actively support of the concept of recovery for people with SMI or SED.
• Identifying practical community-based alternatives to institutionalization.
• Development of a post-doctoral specialization in SMI Psychology.

Nominations and supporting material should be submitted to Susie Lazaroff at [email protected] by Monday, June 10.  Nomination statements and curriculum vitae will be distributed to the voting task force members along with the ballot in June. Newly elected members will be notified prior to the APA Convention meeting in August.
