INFO: APA Office on Aging Newsletter + Continuing Education

Colleagues,

I'd like to share this latest edition of the APA Office on Aging Newsletter. Since the elist does not accept attachments, I'd like to invite you all to go to: <http://www.apa.org/pi/aging/2009-April-Newsletter.pdf>

You will note on page one that: "[t]he all-day, preconvention workshop, What Psychologists Should Know About Working with Older Adults, offered at the 2008 APA Convention by the APA Committee on Aging (CONA) and Office of Continuing Education has been converted to an online CE offering. The presentations cover key topics of importance for psychologists interested in increasing their competencies for work with older adults. ... To register, visit the APA Online Academy at: http://webclients.captus.com/apa/catalog.htm ."

Also, "CONA will once again offer its preconvention workshop, What Psychologists Should Know About Working with Older Adults, this year at the 2009 APA Convention. The offering has been revised in response to participant feedback for less topics in more depth. ... To register for the preconvention workshop, visit: http://www.apa.org/CE ."

Happy Mother's Day all. Merla
