NJPA President

Hulon Newsome, PsyD

NJPA Executive Director

Keira Boertzel-Smith

The Executive Board’s unofficial theme for 2017 is reflected in the recently approved strategic plan goals providing a transformational blueprint for our organization and its future success. Your colleagues, members of the New Jersey Psychological Association’s executive board, committees, and task forces, together with Central Office personnel, dedicated countless hours this year to keep NJPA rele vant, as a professional association for existing and prospective NJPA members, while also remaining focused on the

association’s long-term viability. This dedication and commitment to the organization and its members helped create a strategic plan with inclusion, diversity, transparency, and technology as organizational cornerstones; produced greater financial stability that emphasized increased fiscal oversight, as well as protection and promotion of the organization and its resources; increased membership through various outreach efforts including increased internal and external marketing of membership benefits; yielded several important legislative victories that expanded and protected our scope of practice; developed important collaborative partnerships enhancing the organization’s ability to advocate for the needs of New Jersey psychologists; strengthened connections with other profess ional organizations (e.g., New Jersey Association of Black Psychologists); and, filled key administrative and volunteer positions with highly qualified, well respected individuals whose talents will help stabilize and move our organization forward.

The 2017 – 2022 NJPA Strategic Plan

Three Main Goals:

Provide a professional community for all members of the New Jersey Psychological Association.

Infuse and address diversity and inclusion issues into all areas of the association.

Address issues related to social advocacy involving the application of psychological science and psychological services related to the mental health of the diverse populations of New Jersey.

As you can see, 2017 has been a busy and productive year and we're not done yet. We are very thankful for all the board members, committee chairs, committee members, general members, and NJPA staff who worked hard this year to accomplish the association’s business, and for those who will continue that work throughout the remainder of 2017. Some of the items from our 2017 agenda are:

2017 – 2022 Strategic Plan - A Roadmap for Success: In June, the NJPA Executive Board approved the final NJPA Strategic Plan. This plan was created with extensive input from our general membership, committees, and the executive board. Some strategic plan objectives are to advocate for the professional interests of members (that you can read about in the Advocacy section of this report), to focus on membership recruitment and retention (including the appointment of a new Director of Academic and Scientific Affairs to bring in the academic community), to provide professional development opportunities for members, to assess members' needs and evaluate efforts to address these on an ongoing basis, to support and strengthen the interrelationships among all organizational components of NJPA (including having the Committee on Diversity and Inclusion assist the board in this effort), to

publicize the value and work of NJPA, and to develop and improve opportunities for member-to-member professional communication. Our next steps are to assign a timeline and committees accountable to each objective. The aim is to have the Strategic Plan be a living document that guides decisions made throughout the organization.

Mandatory Continuing Education - Premiere Source of Scientific/Practice Knowledge Dissemination: In June 2017, the Mandatory Continuing Education Regulations went into effect, and the NJPA Committee on Continuing Education Affairs (CoCEA) is developing at least 20 credits per year of robust CE programming in the form of stand-alone programs, annual conferences, and live and recorded webinars. CoCEA will work with NJPA committees to ensure a wide variety of program topics. You will be able to earn all 40 continuing education credits, including the four domestic violence credits, needed to satisfy your June 2019 biennial license renewal. Read all about our Domestic Violence Fall Conference at the end of this publication. Moreover, the CoCEA will work with the Finance Committee to develop a fee structure that will make attending NJPA CE programming affordable and accessible.

Technology - Greater Efficiency/Increased Access and Involvement: We enhanced our technology capabilities to allow for virtual access to NJPA meetings and NJPA continuing education programs. Because of this new technology, we saw an increase in committee participation with an influx of first-time volunteers across all career stages and geographical areas. The new technology allows remote programming participation eliminating the cost of traveling for many potential attendees.

Internal and External Communication – Organizational Promotion, Networking, and Connectivity: With the recent approval of an NJPA social media policy, we created a platform that permits us to standardize, fully utilize, and expand on our association’s internal and external communications capabilities and social media presence. The policy enhances NJPA’s current use of

2 2017 to 2022

LinkedIn and Twitter, and sets the stage for launching a NJPA YouTube channel, and two new Facebook community pages, one to broaden the association's public education initiatives and a second to promote and create awareness of the NJPA Foundation's activities and goals. In addition to the social media policy, improvement in association communication was addressed with the creation of a ListServ Governance Task Force that will assist the executive board with the development of a committee-based ListServ governance model that aims to improve the overall quality of the ListServ experience for all members. Finally, the board approved the creation of a committee that will provide oversight of, and compliance with, all internal and external communications.

Diversity and Inclusion - Pursuit of Broader Relevance: This year, we continued the work begun in 2016 to create an organizational atmosphere that appeals to, and nurtures, the professional interests of a broad representation of existing and prospective members. The Committee on Diversity and Inclusion (CODI), a committee of the executive board, supported the executive board’s commitment to these important goals by participating in the development of the Strategic Plan and revisions of the association’s bylaws. Moreover, the committee utilized educational platforms, such as continuing education programs and town hall meetings, to raise awareness among general membership and the executive board to factors such as implicit bias or microaggression that work against sincere efforts to create a more welcoming environment.

NJPA created an Early Career/Permit Holder Colleague Task Force to ascertain this NJPA member population’s needs, determine how NJPA can address these needs, better integrate Early Career/Permit Holders into the association, and develop ways to foster leadership development among this group of colleagues. We had an overwhelming turn out for this task force –over 20 members, many of them volunteers for the first time or joined the association just to be on this task force.

At the beginning of the year, executive board members and committee chairs participated in an association-wide volunteer service orientation. The purpose of this orientation was to prepare volunteers for association service, provide needed support, and establish an inclusive and transparent tone from the outset.

Social Advocacy – The Social and Psychological Relevance of Our Empirically Produced Knowledge: A Social Advocacy Task Force, comprised of a diverse representation of NJPA members, convened to deliberate on the feasibility of having a social advocacy policy within NJPA. The Task Force quickly submitted a recommendation to the executive board to approve a social advocacy policy for NJPA. Currently, the task force is establishing a social advocacy policy to govern the crafting and distribution of public statements on behalf of the association that contribute to public welfare where the field of psychology has special expertise.

2017 NJPA President’s Task Forces

In 2017, NJPA President, Dr. Hulon Newsome, appointed six task forces, time-limited and mission related groups, to assist the executive board with the research and work needed for board decision making. Each task force consisted of a diverse cross section of the NJPA membership and the NJPA Executive Board. Below are the lists of the task forces, missions, and most importantly our NJPA member volunteers. We thank all participants who helped us create proposals for the Executive Board to review!

1. Strategic Plan Task Force

NJPA Advocacy for the Professional Interests of Members

NJPA is committed to strengthening our political outreach and advocating for the interests of NJ psychologists and mental health issues that are important to the public. Over the years, our advocacy has taken many forms. Through our Committee on Legislative Affairs (COLA), the new Committee on Regulatory Affairs (CORA), and our Governmental Affairs Agent (GAA), NJPA will continue to remain instrumental in maintaining standards of psychology practice in New Jersey, protecting patients' rights, and supporting public policy.

The creation of the Committee on Regulatory Affairs (CORA) was approved by the executive board earlier this year. The purpose of CORA is to interface with the BoPE in areas that affect NJPA members, the practice of psychology, and the public. CORA will consist of NJPA members who have a familiarity with BoPE regulations.

The following is a summary of the NJPA Strategic Plan Advocacy Efforts with a timeline goal of 2017-2022. NJPA worked extremely hard to be sure that our NJPA members were part of the strategic planning process. On January 4, 2017, we opened two member surveys to address items that might be of interest to members: our strategic plan survey and a member satisfaction survey. On March 17, 2017 we published the results of the strategic plan survey and provided an opportunity for members to submit comments. The Strategic Plan Task Force worked with the survey results and comments to create a draft strategic plan, approved by the board in early May. On May 16, 2017, we sent out an email to give members an opportunity to comment on the proposed Strategic Plan, and the comments were reviewed when drafting the final strategic plan. On June 23, 2017, the board approved the final strategic plan.

I am writing this as an individual member of NJPA and not as a member of the Board. I am embarrassed to admit that I only recently became familiar with what the Foundation actually does, even though I have been an active member of the association. I urge everyone to go to the NJPA website and read about the great work of the Foundation, the philanthropic arm of NJPA, which is committed to raising funds to support programs that promote the psychological health of people in our community. The Foundation supports the research and training of graduate students who work with underserved populations in New Jersey. When I thought about that description and when I heard about the projects that the Foundation supports, it also struck me that the Foundation is also, in very concrete ways, a social justice part of NJPA in that it is committed to providing community mental health services to underserved populations.

The good work that the Foundation does is dependent on member support so I hope this is one bandwagon we can all jump on. Please read about the work of the Foundation on the NJPA website and please consider donating to heir worthwhile efforts.

CODI TOWN HALL 2017: Power Dynamics and Domestic Violence: The Psychologist’s Role

Presenters: Phyllis Bolling, PhD; Aida Ismael-Lennon, PsyD; Alexandra Gil, MA; Morgan Murray, PhD; and Christopher Thompson, EdS 1 CE Credit

The focus of this program will be to provide a combined Socratic didactic experience that will enhance the participant’s knowledge of asymmetrical power dynamics inherent in working with domestic violence survivors Participants will explore how their own intersecting identities associated with increased status and power may contribute to unacknowledged power imbalances within the therapeutic relationship, as well as how these same dynamics may play out in their clients’ relationships outside of the therapy room Special implications for the psychologist’s role as a source of intervention will be delineated from a multicultural perspective, attending to the intersections of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation within both the client and therapist

Methodology: The Socratic Method will be employed to generate the participants active self-exploration and engagement in developing the substantive nature of the discussion.

This workshop is designed to help participants:

1) Identify the eight patterns of behavior and seven interconnecting oppressions within the revised version of the “Power and Control Wheel of Violence,” called the Multicultural Power and Control Wheel (Chavis & Hill, 2009)

2) Describe how the intersections of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, and other identities present specific challenges to domestic violence survivors that are multilayered and compound on one another, increasing risk of revictimization and limiting access to vital resources (Almeida & Dolan-Delvecchio, 1999; Bograd, 1999; Crenshaw, 1991)

3) Illustrate the value of adopting a sociopolitical perspective of domestic violence that has its roots in patriarchy, including identification of the impact of systemic racism, sexism, economic exploitation, homophobia, and how blaming the victim or a specific culture maintains and exacerbates these systems (Sokoloff & Dupont, 2005)

4) Describe the dynamic interrelationships among power, privilege, culture, and identity that affect the psychologist’s role and case conceptualization with regard to working with domestic violence survivors (Chavis & Hill, 2009; McGoldrick & Hardy, 2008; Worell & Remer, 2003)

5) Implement principles to enhance behavioral interventions by identifying and understanding their potential blind spots and countertransferential reactions when working with domestic violence survivors (Dworkin & Pope, 2014)

FEATURED SPEAKER: Lenore Walker, EdD

Morning General Session

9:30 am – 12:00 pm

2.5 CE

Domestic Violence: Is Love Part of the Relationship?

Understanding the dynamics of domestic violence relationships requires suspending logic and learning from the abuse victim/survivors themselves. The question always asked is “why doesn’t she leave?” This workshop will help find the counter-intuitive answers including the power and control the batterer uses to isolate and hold her so she develops Battered Woman Syndrome.

1. Answer 3 reasons why battered women do not leave the relationship.

2. Know the seven factors that are part of Battered Woman Syndrome.

3. Assess the cycle of violence in their cases of reported domestic violence.

4. Identify power and control methods used by batterers.

5. Apply three therapy techniques to assist battered women in healing.

6. Prepare for forensic involvement in domestic violence cases.

Afternoon Session

1:30 pm-4:00 pm

2.5 CE

Trauma survivors need more than psychotherapy in order to heal from the abuse they have experienced. Although STEP, a 12-unit manualized treatment program, was originally developed to help battered women heal from intimate partner violence, we have found it to lower anxiety and PTSD symptoms in other trauma survivors also. We will explore the 12 units and learn how to adapt them to your clients as each unit can be used independent of the others when appropriate.

This workshop is designed to help you:

1. Utilize the theoretical underpinnings for the STEP treatment program.

2. Adapt the units to fit clients in their own practices.

3. Develop techniques to assist clients in rebuilding resilience.

ABOUT THE FEATURED SPEAKER

Lenore Walker, EdD, ABPP CL & Fam, is currently a professor at Nova Southeastern University in the Center for Psychological Studies where she is coordinator of the Forensic Psychology Concentration. She earned her EdD degree in psychology from Rutgers, The State University in New Jersey, in 1972, with expertise in working with children and their families. She also holds a MS from City College of the City University of New York, in 1969, and an AB degree from Hunter College of CUNY, in 1962.

In addition to her academic credentials, Dr. Walker has been in the independent practice of psychology for almost 40 years. Her work began with abused children and their families in the early 1970s when this country was first instituting child abuse reporting laws and, after noting the trauma to both the children and their parents from abuse, began her research that was supported by funding from the National Institute of Mental Health grant on the psychological effects from domestic violence calling it Battered Woman Syndrome. It was the first research to look at the psychological theories of how trauma and abuse caused the psychological problems that we work with today in families. She’s been on national policy making committees, testified numerous times before Congress, and in state and federal courts around the US and other countries. She was an advisor to NATO, the ILANUD project of the United Nations, Pan American Health Organization, WHO, and others.
