Continuing Education (CE)

The National Latinx Psychological Association (NLPA) provides continuing education (CE) programs for psychologists and other mental health professionals. These programs provide the opportunity for professional development opportunities while earning CE credits.


NLPA is an American Psychological Association (APA) approved sponsor to provide CE credits to psychologists and as such the association adheres to APA standards including, APA Standard D.
 
APA Standard D
Curriculum Content
The content of continuing education is the crucial component intended to maintain, develop, and increase conceptual and applied competencies that are relevant to psychological practice, education, and science. All CE programs offered for CE credit for psychologists must comply with Standard D criteria. CE programs must be grounded in an evidence-based approach. CE programs that are focused on application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods must include content that is credibly supported by the most current scientific evidence. CE programs may also provide infor-mation related to ethical, legal, statutory or regulatory policies, guidelines, and standards that impact psychology.

Standard D Criteria:
Sponsors must document that the content of each CE program meets one of the following:
1.1. Program content focuses on application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods that have overall consistent and credible empirical support in the contemporary peer reviewed scientific literature beyond those publications and other types of communications devoted primarily to the promotion of the approach;
1.2. Program content focuses on ethical, legal, statutory or regulatory policies, guidelines, and standards that impact psychological practice, education, or research;
1.3. Program content focuses on topics related to psychological practice, education, or research other than application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods that are supported by contemporary scholarship grounded in established research procedures.
 


At this time, NLPA sponsors learning activities for psychologists that are asynchronous (Video on-Demand). 2021 NLPA Conference participants can view videos on demand for continuing education.
