Dear Dr. Aldwin

 

I hope you had a good Memorial Day Weekend.

 

My name is Dr. Randy Burke and I am the Chief Psychologist at the G. V. (Sonny) Montgomery VAMC in Jackson, MS. We are currently recruiting for 8 psychologists to fill vacancies on our Community Living Center, Women's Primary Care Program, Telemedicine, Mental Health Outpatient Clinic and Empirically Based Psychotherapy Section. Brief descriptions of these positions are provided below and full details are available on the USA jobs website www.usajobs.gov.

 

As President of the APA division on Adult Development and Aging, I wanted to ask if you would consider forwarding this information to your members.

 

Sincerely

 

Randy S. Burke, Ph.D.

Chief, Psychology Service

 

 

The G. V. (Sonny) Montgomery VAMC is currently recruiting for 8 psychologists.

 

Community Living Center (one vacancy): The primary aim of this position is to facilitate culture transformation efforts and to promote the delivery of psychosocial interventions for residents experiencing difficulties with behavioral, cognitive, neuropsychiatric, and other mental health issues. The Staff Psychologist will also provide psychological assessment and treatment services, emphasizing evidence-based and best practice approaches, and including end-of-life issues. The Staff Psychologist will function as a full member of the CLC treatment team and in a consultative role for the Palliative Care Program.

 

Evidenced Based Practice Section– two vacancies:  The incumbents will work across Mental Health and Primary Care teams to deliver EBPs to Veterans that are likely to benefit from the time-limited-symptom focused nature of these interventions. Duties will include, but are not limited to, screening high risk patients, expert evaluations for diagnosis and treatment planning, and providing a full range of time-limited, evidenced based psychological interventions, using individual and group psychotherapy and family modalities. The psychologist will work as a member of the EBP team and will have a major responsibility for evidence-based assessment and treatment in this program. 

 

Mental Health Outpatient Clinic - two vacancies:  The incumbents will provide expert clinical services to Veterans served by the VA Medical Center’s interdisciplinary Mental Health Outpatient Clinic (MH-OPC).  Many of the Veterans served by this clinic have serious mental illness and require long-term care and follow-up, but are likely to experience benefits from time-limited, symptom focused and empirically based interventions..  Duties will include, but are not limited to, screening high risk patients, expert evaluations for diagnosis and treatment planning, and providing a full range of psychological interventions, emphasizing Evidenced Based Psychotherapies (EBPs) and utilizing individual, group and family modalities. The psychologist will work as a member of the MH-OPC interdisciplinary team and will have a major responsibility for evidence-based assessment and treatment in this program. The psychologist may be assigned the role of case manager for select cases and coordinate interdisciplinary treatment planning for Veterans on their panel.

 

Primary Care Mental Health – one vacancy:  The incumbent will provide psychological services for Veterans in primary care clinics.  This position is part of a Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) initiative to implement evidence-based care models that expand the capability of primary care providers to diagnose and treat common mental health disorders (specifically depression, anxiety, and alcohol use concerns) and facilitate the referral of more complicated conditions to mental health specialty settings. Duties will include, but are not limited to, working closely with primary care providers, with all or most services provided in the primary care setting.  Some services will be provided via telephone and /or by telemedicine.  This psychologist may also have opportunities to provide tobacco cessation, pain management, and /or weight management treatment services to primary care Veterans.

 

Telemedicine Clinic – one vacancy:  The incumbent will work as a member of the telemedicine interdisciplinary team and provide expert, evidenced based, clinical services to Veterans with problems related to anxiety, adjustment, mood, substance use, and other psychiatric conditions. Clinical duties include but are not limited to screening high risk patients, expert evaluations for diagnosis and treatment planning, and providing a full range of psychological interventions, including motivational enhancement and evidenced based psychotherapies (EBPs).

 

Women’s Health Primary Care – one vacancy:  The incumbent will provide psychological services for female Veterans in the Women's Veterans Primary Care Clinic. The psychologist will work closely with primary care providers, the Women Veterans Coordinator and the Military Sexual Trauma Coordinator, with all or most services provided in the Women Veterans Primary Care Clinic setting.  Some services will be provided via telephone and some services may be provided by telemedicine.  This position is part of a VA Central Office initiative to implement evidence-based care models that are aimed at meeting the mental health needs of women Veterans in an integrated care setting.

 

All Treatment services are empirically based and psychologists are members of interdisciplinary treatment teams.

 

Psychology Service is well respected within our medical center and psychologists are provided with numerous opportunities for continuing education, program development, research, and professional growth. Our VAMC is affiliated with the University of Mississippi Medical Center and offers psychology training at the pre and postdoctoral levels.

Contexts and Implications of Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage across Adulthood

 

The marital tie represents one of the most influential and prevalent relationships in adulthood, with enormous implications for well-being. Better quality marriages are associated with fewer psychological and physical health problems. The life course of marriage and the context in which it occurs, as well as transitions such as divorce and remarriage, require systematic study. The researchers in this webinar examine individuals in different marital situations (engaged, married, divorced, and remarried), and consider several contexts (e.g., in-law relationships, marital happiness, support, caregiving, well-being) across the life span. We will discuss the formation of marital ties in early adulthood and implications for in-law relationships, the development of marital happiness over 16 years, the implications of marital quality for the divorce experience, and the caregiving experience among remarried caregivers. Overall, these studies highlight the diversity of marital experiences which is especially critical given the increasingly complicated family structures individuals experience across the life span.

INFO: Administration for Community Living Briefing: Administration Structure, Aims, and Vision

Dr. Nida Corry (the recently hired Senior Legislative and Federal Affairs Officer in the APA Public Interest Directorate Government Relations Office, responsible for aging issues) attended the Administration for Community Living briefing yesterday afternoon.  Below please find her notes and a Q &A handout from the meeting for your information.  

 

 

Administration for Community Living

Briefing, May 22, 2012

Panel Members:

Kathy Greenlee, Administrator of the Administration for Community Living and Assistant Secretary for Aging

Henry Claypool, Principal Deputy Administrator of the Administration for Community Living and Senior Advisor to the Secretary for Disability Policy

Edwin Walker, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Aging, Administration for Community Living

Sharon Lewis, Commissioner, Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Administration for Community Living

 

Establishment of ACL

-          Administration for Community Living (ACL) brings together the Administration on Aging (AoA), the Office on Disability (OD), and the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) and is charged with developing policies and improving supports for seniors and people with disabilities

-          Integration of offices mirrors the recognition at local and state levels of the common interests of aging and disability populations, and to efficiently address common platforms/issues across populations (e.g., housing, supporting caregivers, veterans, etc.)

-          Forming ACL was a budget neutral initiative, no new resources or staffing allotted

-          The ‘Community Living’ agency name was selected after careful review and consideration of stakeholder input, because it reflects a mutual, aspirational goal that is neutral and applies across populations

-          ACL has been noted in the Federal Register, thus is established; https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2012/04/18/2012-9238/statement-of-organization-functions-and-delegations-of-authority-administration-for-community-living

 

ACL Aims

-          ACL aims to help government departments and partners understand and respond to needs of populations (e.g., work with HUD to improve understanding of population needs)

-          Kathy emphasized that ACL must partner with mental health services and providers to ensure that MH is represented*

-          ACL leadership is in process of drafting policy agenda, to target their pending activities and identify priorities*

 

ACL Roles and Program Status

-          Organizational Structure: http://www.hhs.gov/acl/organization.html

-          Kathy and Henry will retain their advisory roles to the Secretary for their respective areas

-          The formerly separate administrations have not changed functionally, all programs will be administered and maintained consistently. However, ACL aims to more efficiently and cohesively manage ‘integrated programs’ and institutionalizes a more robust policy perspective to address population needs and to secure opportunities

o        Long-term Care Awareness Campaign will continue

o        Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC) – ACL will explore new opportunities to support disability services and identify long-term goals

-          Although no new resources are directly provided under ACL establishment, the integration of these offices into a single agency may promote additional translational research opportunities
