Mais comment y parvenir? Nous pensons qu\u2019il est important, dans un premier temps, de s\u2019assurer que les \u00e9tudiants confront\u00e9s \u00e0 des obstacles au premier cycle re\u00e7oivent le soutien dont ils ont besoin pour poursuivre leurs \u00e9tudes au niveau du deuxi\u00e8me cycle et, \u00e0 terme, exercer la profession. Au cours de cette pr\u00e9sentation, nous expliquerons comment la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019un climat inclusif au niveau du premier cycle universitaire peut renforcer le sentiment d\u2019appartenance et la r\u00e9ussite des \u00e9tudiants, et comment cette approche peut \u00eatre transpos\u00e9e \u00e0 la formation des dipl\u00f4m\u00e9s et \u00e0 la profession de psychologue en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral. Nous pr\u00e9senterons bri\u00e8vement les recherches que nous avons men\u00e9es pour soutenir les \u00e9tudiants de premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e du premier cycle, et expliquerons en quoi cela contribue \u00e0 r\u00e9duire le d\u00e9crochage scolaire \u00e0 mesure que les \u00e9tudiants avancent dans leurs \u00e9tudes. Nous fournirons \u00e9galement des recommandations visant \u00e0 aider les programmes d\u2019\u00e9tudes sup\u00e9rieures et la profession \u00e0 favoriser la r\u00e9tention, la pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance et la r\u00e9ussite des \u00e9tudiants.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Steven M.

Cependant, dans cette allocution, je pr\u00e9senterai des arguments solides pour d\u00e9montrer que notre plus grand d\u00e9fi, mais aussi la plus belle occasion \u00e0 saisir, est de comprendre et d\u2019influencer le comportement humain, en prenant en compte les m\u00e9canismes mentaux, \u00e9motionnels et sociaux sous-jacents. Il sera d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que le recours excessif aux solutions technologiques, en l\u2019absence d\u2019efforts coordonn\u00e9s suffisants pour comprendre et modifier les comportements humains, a ralenti et continuera de ralentir, voire de compromettre, la durabilit\u00e9. De plus, n\u00e9gliger la fa\u00e7on dont les gens pensent, ressentent et agissent entra\u00eene une s\u00e9rie de cons\u00e9quences impr\u00e9vues, notamment une r\u00e9sistance \u00e0 certaines politiques, une r\u00e9partition in\u00e9quitable des avantages et des fardeaux, ainsi que d\u2019autres \u00ab\u00a0effets secondaires\u00a0\u00bb qui retardent et continueront de retarder ou de compromettre la transition vers la durabilit\u00e9. Je vais donc le dire clairement\u00a0: la psychologie scientifique et la pratique de la psychologie, souvent sous-estim\u00e9es, ne sont pas accessoires, mais essentielles \u00e0 la transition sociotechnique vers la durabilit\u00e9. J\u2019examinerai le r\u00f4le essentiel de la psychologie dans la r\u00e9ussite des transitions vers la durabilit\u00e9, non seulement du point de vue technique, mais aussi du point de vue social. La psychologie, en tant que science appliqu\u00e9e, offre des outils \u00e9prouv\u00e9s pour favoriser les changements de mentalit\u00e9, l\u2019efficacit\u00e9 collective et l\u2019adaptation comportementale sur les plans individuel, organisationnel et culturel. En int\u00e9grant les connaissances en psychologie \u00e0 la conception des technologies, des politiques durables et des milieux de vie, nous pouvons favoriser un engagement plus profond, une r\u00e9silience adaptative et un changement culturel \u00e0 long terme. L\u2019expos\u00e9 se termine par une vision dans laquelle la psychologie agit comme une discipline passerelle pour approfondir, acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer et stabiliser la transition sociotechnique vers un avenir durable, et o\u00f9 nous, psychologues de toutes les sous-disciplines et pratiques, avons un r\u00f4le \u00e0 jouer pour que cet avenir se concr\u00e9tise.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"16914\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17637427811\" id=\"header-17637427811\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17637427811 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Biographie :\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17637427811\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17637427811\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Biographie :<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17637427811 \">\r\n                <p>Professeur et titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada sur les dimensions sociales des technologies propres, Universit\u00e9 Dalhousie<\/p>\n<p>Conf\u00e9rence d\u2019honneur, jeudi 4\u00a0juin<\/p>\n<p>Biographie\u00a0: Les recherches du Dr\u00a0Stanley Asah portent sur les dimensions sociales des technologies propres, avec un accent particulier sur le r\u00f4le du comportement humain dans l\u2019adoption, la diffusion et l\u2019acceptation sociale de ces technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Dans le cadre de ses travaux, il\u00a0:<\/p>\n<p>- \u00c9tudie l\u2019adoption, le maintien et la diffusion des technologies propres.<br \/>\n- Examine les impacts sociaux, l\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 et l\u2019acceptabilit\u00e9 des technologies propres.<br \/>\n- \u00c9labore des strat\u00e9gies de changement comportemental et des pratiques de gestion visant \u00e0 faciliter l\u2019adoption et la diffusion de technologies moins polluantes.<br \/>\n- M\u00e8ne des exp\u00e9riences pour s\u2019attaquer aux comportements contre-productifs induits par les technologies propres.<br \/>\n- Contribue \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9laboration de strat\u00e9gies de transformation afin d\u2019atteindre la neutralit\u00e9 carbone au Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Les recherches du Dr\u00a0Asah ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9compens\u00e9es par l\u2019obtention d\u2019une chaire de recherche du Canada, t\u00e9moignant de ses contributions significatives dans ce domaine.

The prevalence of risk factors for VCI, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, is high in Canada, and expected to worsen with an aging population (Leung et al., 2019). Symptoms of depression are associated with VCI in those with a history of vascular events, such as lacunar stroke (Ohlmeier et al., 2023).<\/p>\n<p>Methods: A review of best practices for the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of VCI will be presented, including the most recent Canadian Stroke Best Practice guidelines. Implications for the role of psychologists will be examined.<\/p>\n<p>Results\/Conclusions: Current best practice guidelines address screening, assessment, and management of cognitive dysfunction in VCI, screening, assessment, and treatment for VCI-related mood disturbances, and psychoeducation and support for caregivers. Psychologists working with older adults should be aware of and incorporate these recommendations into their practice.<\/p>\n<p>Action\/Impact: From contributing to assessment and diagnosis of VCI, lifestyle modification, and treatment of VCI-related mood disturbances, psychologists can play a key role in managing this important determinant of health in an aging population.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15633\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459572241\" id=\"header-17459572241\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459572241 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459572241\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459572241\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459572241 \">\r\n                <p>Sherri L.

IGT refers to the transmission of psychological trauma from one generation to the next and is considered a distal determinant of mental health outcomes; intergenerational resilience is the generational passing on of resilient responses to stress and adversity and is a vital component of IGT. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the IGT discourse in Asian communities has garnered growing interest in lay conversations, media, and clinical discussions (Lee & Yoon, 2024; Shah, 2022). Yet, despite the broader recognition of IGT in these spaces, the research has been relatively limited. In response to this limitation, there has been recent publications on IGT in Asian American contexts (Cai & Lee, 2022; Nagata et al., 2024), including research on the Hmong (Vue, 2021), Korean (Lee, 2024), Japanese (Nagata & Patel, 2021), and South East Asian (Yasui et al., 2023) communities. However, the research in the Canadian landscape is nascent. As a way to uplift the collective voices of Canadian researchers engaged in this topic, this presentation provides an overview of their emerging scholarship. Several research projects are reviewed in this presentation, along with the author's narrative study on Chinese Canadian families. Common trends across the studies are explored, as well as a discussion on possible reasons for this relative silence on this research topic in Canada. Implications and next steps for scholarship, practice, advocacy, and collective healing are discussed in the context of this presentation.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15650\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459519221\" id=\"header-17459519221\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459519221 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459519221\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459519221\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459519221 \">\r\n                <p>Dr. Fred Chou (\u5468\u654f\u6d69) is an associate professor in counselling psychology in the department of Educational Psychology and Leadership Studies at the University of Victoria and a registered psychologist in British Columbia.

Instead, we seek to understand the dynamic ways in which the human mind is created from brain, body, and environmental interactions. In doing so, explanations of behaviour become neurophilic but not neurocentric, emphasizing mechanistic models that situate the brain in context. I will elaborate on these ideas and discuss a model of brain function known as predictive processing. I will describe recent research in my lab that tests predictions of this model in people who show traits associated with psychopathologies.

CREATE is an acronym for Collaborative Research in Empirical And Theoretical Embodiment. The name hints at one of the central tenants of the theory of embodied cognition: that the mind is created from brain, body, environmental interactions. In the CREATE Lab, we conduct fundamental research on the nature of the mind\/brain, addressing 'big picture' questions about how we learn concepts and think with them. In understanding how the healthy brain works, our research has important implications for education and health. Students in the lab gain valuable hands-on training in the scientific study of human behaviour and the brain, skills that allow them to address a variety of problems related to human psychology. With this approach, we ultimately seek to improve our understanding of the organization of the brain and behaviour.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"margin-left: -20px;\"><strong>Addressing Persisting Symptoms After Pediatric Concussion: Insights from Ontario Health Data, Clinical Trials, and Mindfulness Interventions<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div style=\"height:150px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"textwrapleft\" style=\"max-height: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/generic-person-001.png\" alt=\"Dr. Andr\u00e9e-Anne Ledoux\" \/><em><strong>Dr. Andr\u00e9e-Anne Ledoux<\/strong>, Children\u2019s Hospital of Eastern Ontario<\/em><br \/>\nSection Featured Speaker Address<br \/>\nJune 12, 2025<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Section on Clinical Neuropsychology<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"accordions-15679\" class=\"accordions-15679 accordions\" data-accordions={&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:true,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;15679&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;collapsible&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;heightStyle&quot;:&quot;content&quot;,&quot;animateStyle&quot;:&quot;swing&quot;,&quot;animateDelay&quot;:1000,&quot;navigation&quot;:true,&quot;active&quot;:999,&quot;expandedOther&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}>\r\n                <div id=\"accordions-lazy-15679\" class=\"accordions-lazy\" accordionsId=\"15679\">\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"items\"  style=\"display:none\" >\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15679\" itemcount=\"0\"  header_id=\"header-17459501120\" id=\"header-17459501120\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459501120 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Abstract:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459501120\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459501120\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Abstract:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459501120 \">\r\n                <p>In Canada, approximately 173,000 pediatric concussions occur each year; however, this is likely an underestimate, as one-third of cases go undiagnosed or unreported. Sustaining a single concussion increases the risk of subsequent injuries, and 30-35% of children aged 5 to 17.99 years experience persistent symptoms beyond four weeks post-injury. These persisting symptoms-referred to as Persisting Symptoms After a Concussion (PSAC)-include ongoing physical, cognitive, emotional, and sleep-related issues. Using Ontario administrative health services data from 2010 to 2020, we found that youth with a history of concussion face a 40% increased risk of mental health disorders, a 47% increased risk of psychiatric hospitalization, and a 49% increased risk of self-harm compared to age- and sex-matched youth with orthopedic injuries. We also found that early resumption of physical activity and early return to school can reduce symptom burden and the risk of PSAC. However, in our multicenter randomized controlled trial (PedCARE), early physical activity showed only modest improvements in symptom burden at two weeks post-injury. This highlights the significant need for acute interventions to prevent PSAC and associated mental health issues.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15679\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459501121\" id=\"header-17459501121\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459501121 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459501121\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459501121\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459501121 \">\r\n                <p>Dr. Andr\u00e9e-Anne Ledoux is an early career Scientist for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute (CHEO), Assistant Professor for the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Adjunct Professor for the School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa, and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Carleton University.\u00a0 Dr. Ledoux earned her PhD in Experimental Psychology and Behavioural Neuroscience, specializing in neuropsychology and neuroimaging from the University of Ottawa in 2013.\u00a0 In 2019, she completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship, studying pediatric concussion at CHEORI.

AS has been posited as a transdiagnostic construct that may help explain the high comorbidity of anxiety and substance use disorders. AS has also been theorized as a useful intervention target for preventing and treating both anxiety and harmful substance use. The first half of this address will review survey research linking AS to both anxiety and substance use symptoms and disorders, and multi-method lab-based research identifying mechanisms to help explain how AS confers this transdiagnostic vulnerability. The second half of the address will introduce AS targeted transdiagnostic interventions as preventative and therapeutic tools for both anxiety and harmful substance use. This section will begin with the rationale for these transdiagnostic interventions, their therapeutic orientation (i.e., psychoeducational, motivational, cognitive-behavioral), and their general structure. Then a series of trials (completed and in progress) will be presented, testing the efficacy of the AS-focused transdiagnostic approach on both anxiety and harmful substance use outcomes. The talk will conclude with suggestions for the next steps in this line of research at both the mechanistic and intervention levels.   <\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15686\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459546481\" id=\"header-17459546481\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459546481 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459546481\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459546481\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459546481 \">\r\n                <p>Dr. Sherry H.

Yet, clients, students and psychologists from Historically, Persistently and Systemically Marginalized communities have (and continue to) face numerous barriers and challenges when engaging with the discipline. Despite a large body of research that indicates ways that psychology can be practiced, taught and researched in more inclusive ways, traditional approaches prevail, and as such, continue to uphold the status quo. Due to my own diverse upbringing and lived experience, along with meaningful mentorship, I have been on a quest for critical social justice in psychology for over 20 years. Unfortunately, the journey has been arduous and discouraging, and I believe it has yielded minimal change. In this address, I will present some historical developments related to social justice in counselling psychology. I will also share my own experiences and struggles, advocating for more inclusivity and critical change across multiple areas of the discipline (eg. training, psychology organizations, governing bodies). I will also invite attendees to consider their own positionality and responsibility to leverage bold shifts in order to ensure that psychology is responsive to HPSM communities.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15693\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459504341\" id=\"header-17459504341\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459504341 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459504341\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459504341\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459504341 \">\r\n                <p>Dr. Kassan is currently located on the Treaty 7 Region in Southern Alberta and M\u00e9tis Nation of Alberta, Region III.

These threats to the finite planetary system that sustains all of life\u2014 human and non-human alike\u2014strike at the very core of our existence and well-being. Eco-anxiety (or climate anxiety) is, understandably, on the rise, impacting the mental health of growing numbers of people. Indeed, a case can be made that eco-anxiety lurks beneath the surface in all of us as it spawns a cascade of fundamental existential anxieties relating to our basic human concerns with respect to identity, happiness, mortality, isolation, and meaning in life. This state-of-the-world clearly demonstrates how we, as humans, have become disconnected from the beyond-human natural world. At the same time, a large (and growing) body of empirical findings consistently evidences how connecting with nature contributes to psychological health and helps to provide meaning in our lives by addressing our need for coherence, significance\/mattering, purpose, and relatedness. Indeed, some researchers have proposed that connecting with nature is a basic human need, the satisfaction of which is predictive of adaptive human feeling and functioning, and the thwarting of which can diminish well-being. To date, research examining the dynamics of the humannature relationship has largely been relegated to environmental, academic research areas of psychology. However, the inherent appeal that nature holds for us has important practical implications for applied psychologists (and their clients). This talk will provide an overview of the theories grounding work in this area and supportive research findings, while also introducing accessible, applied nature-based interventions to boost individual well-being and the well-being our planet.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15698\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459493361\" id=\"header-17459493361\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459493361 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459493361\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459493361\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459493361 \">\r\n                <p>Dr. Holli-Anne Passmore is an Associate Professor and Department Chair of Psychology at Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) in Alberta, Canada.

Psychology has been promoted while having significant theoretical, methodological, and ethical limitations. Explanations for the expansion of psychology are presented, including participation in the \u201cmodernization\u201d of society, collaboration with power, and collusion with neoliberal capitalism that benefits from turning the gaze to interiority. Despite the \u201csuccesses\u201d, the scientific goal of developing a theory of subjectivity is missing. Reasons such as the subdivision of mental life into minute parts, a highly successful research strategy in the natural sciences, and the institutionalized particularization of mental life for practical purposes, and their consequences are discussed. A framework for theorizing subjectivity is laid out, from the entanglement of the social, cultural, historical, with the relational and internal to focusing on possibilities rather than actualities. New ideas for theorizing subjectivity that address historical and contextual changes and the importance of drawing on a theory for understanding human mental life are advanced.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15719\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459515151\" id=\"header-17459515151\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459515151 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459515151\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459515151\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459515151 \">\r\n                <p>Thomas Teo is a professor of psychology in the Historical, Theoretical, and Critical Studies of Psychology Program at York University, Toronto, Canada.

Recognizing the need to act on the recommendations made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, it is imperative that<br \/>\nreconciliation promotion is infused into psychology curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, the Canadian Psychological Association, Standards of Accreditation introduced a new foundational competency, Indigenous Interculturalism. This competency outlines education and training (e.g., Indigenous worldviews, values, and practices) required to work alongside and for Indigenous Peoples in the professional practice of psychology. This presentation will discuss elements of Indigenous Interculturalism, and methods of weaving reconciliation promotion in psychological curriculum to improve research collaboration and\/or delivery of psychological service to First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit populations in Canada. Teaching strategies such as land acknowledgment discussions, review of colonization examples that have and continue to impact Indigenous Peoples, and reconciliation promotion activities will be reviewed.

However, recent years have seen a significant need to promote alternative destinations to better share the benefits of immigration to other regions of the country, and a number of innovative policies and programs have followed suit. Atlantic Canada has experienced unique challenges with attracting and retaining newcomers, however in spite of these challenges the region has diversified significantly in recent decades with substantial increases in the number of newcomers settling and remaining in the region. Newfoundland & Labrador is no exception. Despite the province\u2019s history of resident outmigration, immigration to Newfoundland & Labrador is a critical driver of population growth. To ensure the province shares in the benefits of immigration and continue to consolidate multiculturalism, innovative approaches to promotion, settlement, and integration are necessary. This presentation highlights the unique aspect of immigration and multiculturalism in the province, drawing attention to the role of research and policy in adopting innovative approaches to diversity and inclusion in Newfoundland and Labrador.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15736\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459522471\" id=\"header-17459522471\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459522471 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459522471\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459522471\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459522471 \">\r\n                <p>Maggie Peyton is the Director of Immigration Policy and Settlement with the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism, situated in the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's Department of Immigration, Population Growth and Skills.

It was previously thought that treating the primary disorder would resolve the secondary sleep disturbance. We now know that unmanaged insomnia is a significant predictor of the development of several mood and anxiety disorders, increases relapse rates after treatment, and has short- and long-term health consequences. Fortunately, psychologists are well equipped to assess and address insomnia and other sleep disorders. Cognitive-behavior therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a highly effective non-pharmacological intervention recommended as a first line treatment (APA, AASM, ACP). This multicomponent intervention integrates circadian science, behavioral principles of conditioned learning, and cognitive therapy to address the factors that maintain sleep difficulty. Strong evidence demonstrates that the treatment gains from CBT-I are significantly better maintained over time relative to hypnotic medication therapies. This presentation will briefly review etiology and pathophysiology, and provide practical direction for assessment and treatment of insomnia, with special consideration of clinical tips for interventions when insomnia is comorbid with other physical and psychological disorders.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15749\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459511011\" id=\"header-17459511011\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459511011 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459511011\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459511011\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459511011 \">\r\n                <p>Dr. Sheila Garland is a full professor in the departments of Psychology and Oncology at Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador and a registered clinical psychologist.

The movement from military to public safety more generally is common in Canada, but research on the transition to publica safety at\/in prison is understudied - with a small emerging literature out of the United Kingdom and now Canada. I draw on data from multiple studies, one being a survey of correctional workers in either federal correctional services or select provincial services. A second being a longitudinal study or correctional officers with military experience under the employ of Correctional Services Canada, where we collected interview, survey and MINI assessments to learn about their experience of the transition to civilian within the institution of prison. Given the complexity of prison society for those working and living, I start by showing how veteran versus non-veteran officers feel military experience prepared them for all elements of the job (i.e., security, custody, care, control, report writing). Then I talk about how military experience is thought to affect promotional opportunities at work. In addition, I remind of the dynamic of veteran prisoner versus veteran correctional officer when on the same unit or same prison, each time unique and requiring navigation. Considerations for health - are discussed.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15756\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459543561\" id=\"header-17459543561\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459543561 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459543561\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459543561\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459543561 \">\r\n                <p>Dr. Rosemary Ricciardelli is Professor (PhD) and Research Chair in Safety, Security, and Wellness, at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

With a broader and more diverse literature base than ever before in just about every subdiscipline, methods capable of providing principled syntheses of key findings have never been in higher demand. Meta-analysis remains the gold standard for synthesizing findings across studies with diverse outcomes. Concurrently, we have witnessed the rise of Bayesian approaches to estimation and hypothesis testing, providing robust ways to handle sparse data and integrate prior knowledge\u2014advantages especially valuable to the intrepid meta-analyst. One area particularly well-suited to this approach is clinical epidemiology, where understanding the distribution of a disorder across different populations informs basic research and\u00a0plays an important role in public health. In this talk, I describe lessons I have learned fitting meta-analytic models throughout my career, with an emphasis on epidemiological applications. I also highlight challenges (and a recent multivariate solution) related to estimating the prevalence of certain disorder categories (e.g., how many people in a typical sample have at least one anxiety disorder?). My hope is that these reflections will offer practical guidance for researchers aiming to produce rigorous, impactful syntheses in an era of abundant data.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15763\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459548851\" id=\"header-17459548851\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459548851 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459548851\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459548851\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459548851 \">\r\n                <p>Dr. Jonathan Fawcett is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Psychology at Memorial University of Newfoundland, with a special focus on memory control and an interest in quantitative methods.

In this talk, I illustrate psychological gaps in popular health decision-making recommendations. One recommendation for health messaging encourages \"fighting\" metaphoric frames for cancer, suggesting that such metaphors motivate people to make better health decisions. I will present three studies wherein participants read health information that metaphorically framed cancer with \"fighting\" language or with alternative language. Then, participants beliefs about cancer prevention were assessed. Those reading \"fighting\" metaphors were more fatalistic about getting cancer and had less accessibility of and intention to engage in certain cancer prevention behaviours. Thus, such metaphors may promote suboptimal health beliefs. Another recommendation for health decision-making suggests that providing the public with more information improves health decisions. However, vaccine resistors claim their beliefs are founded upon ample information search. I will present two studies that measured vaccine resistance and information search tendencies. Results indicated that, despite their claims, vaccine resistors consult less evidence before reaching conclusions. Thus, more information may not be sufficient for improving health decisions because some people make decisions without consulting much evidence.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15784\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459553351\" id=\"header-17459553351\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459553351 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459553351\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459553351\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459553351 \">\r\n                <p>Dave Hauser is an Associate Professor of Social\/Personality Psychology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.

Dr. McKinnon has published nearly 190 peer-reviewed papers and chapters and holds funding from numerous federal and provincial bodies, including the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Canadian Institute of Military and Veterans Health Research, National Defence, Veterans Affairs Canada and the Worker's Safety Insurance Board of Ontario.\u00a0 Her laboratory is also grateful for the support of generous donors, including True Patriot Love, the FDC Foundation, the AllOne Foundation, Homewood Health, the Military Casualty Support Foundation, and the Cowan Foundation.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"margin-left: -20px;\"><strong>Balancing Research, Teaching, Service and Life as a Teacher-Scholar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div style=\"height: 150px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"textwrapleft\" style=\"max-height: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cpa.ca\/docs\/File\/Convention\/2025\/PamMcAuslan.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Pam McAuslan\" \/><em><strong>Dr. Pam McAuslan<\/strong>, University of Michigan-Dearborn<\/em><br \/>Section Featured Speaker Address<br \/>June 13, 2025<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Section on Women and Psychology (SWAP)<br \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"accordions-15841\" class=\"accordions-15841 accordions\" data-accordions={&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:true,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;15841&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;collapsible&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;heightStyle&quot;:&quot;content&quot;,&quot;animateStyle&quot;:&quot;swing&quot;,&quot;animateDelay&quot;:1000,&quot;navigation&quot;:true,&quot;active&quot;:999,&quot;expandedOther&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}>\r\n                <div id=\"accordions-lazy-15841\" class=\"accordions-lazy\" accordionsId=\"15841\">\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"items\"  style=\"display:none\" >\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15841\" itemcount=\"0\"  header_id=\"header-17459571230\" id=\"header-17459571230\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459571230 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Abstract:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459571230\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459571230\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Abstract:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459571230 \">\r\n                <p>The focus of this presentation broadly is on improving and promoting health, but my approach will be non-traditional. My academic career isn\u2019t what I\u2019d imagined when I was an aspiring graduate student. I had many publications coming out of grad school and was expected to seek out a job at a big research university. Instead, I took a job as an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan-Dearborn (3-3 load, lots of service, no TAs or doctoral students). I love teaching and this worked for my family. But it made being a prolific researcher a challenge. I\u2019d like to share some of the lessons I\u2019ve learned about creating a healthy balance and the strategies that I used to make research work in this kind of setting. I\u2019ll also focus on my primary research interests which involve using the media practice model to better understand how early life experiences and individual characteristics influence how young people use media (this includes the media they consume, how they identify with media personalities, and how media makes them feel) and how these factors subsequently influence attitudes and behaviors related to interpersonal violence. This research is meaningful because it has implications for early intervention (e.g., promoting critical thinking and media literacy to make young people more resilient to intolerant attitudes related to gender and sexuality).<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    \r\n            <div post_id=\"15841\" itemcount=\"1\"  header_id=\"header-17459571231\" id=\"header-17459571231\" style=\"\" class=\"accordions-head head17459571231 border-none\" toggle-text=\"\" main-text=\"Bio:\">\r\n                                    <span id=\"accordion-icons-17459571231\" class=\"accordion-icons\">\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-active accordion-plus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                        <span class=\"accordion-icon-inactive accordion-minus\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/span>\r\n                    <\/span>\r\n                    <span id=\"header-text-17459571231\" class=\"accordions-head-title\">Bio:<\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"accordion-content content17459571231 \">\r\n                <p>Pam McAuslan is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate classes in Social Psychology, Interpersonal Relationships, Gender, and Statistics, she has served in various roles in her 26 years at UM-Dearborn including as Chair of the Institutional Review Board, Director of the MS Psychology Graduate Programs, and Psychology Discipline Chair. Her primary research interests focus on factors related to interpersonal violence, particularly how the media practice model can be used to help us to understand how early lived experiences and individual characteristics influence media use (consumption, identification, and influence) and how these factors subsequently impact attitudes and behaviors related to violence. But her expertise in methods and statistics have led her to collaborations with colleagues across psychology and she has publications on diverse topics including substance use, parenting self-efficacy, mindfulness, self-promotion, and trust in autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!-----<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"margin-left: -20px;\"><strong>Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:150px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"textwrapleft\" style=\"max-height: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/generic-person-001.png\" alt=\"Dxxxr\" \/><em><strong>Drxxxxxxr<\/strong>, Universityxxxxxxxx<\/em>\n\n\nSection Featured Speaker Address\n\n\nJune XX, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Sectionxxxlogy <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n[accordions_pplugins id='15XXX']\n\n\n\n\n<hr \/>\n\n\n\n\n<p>------><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  <!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-563","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-23 23:35:07","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"translation_priority","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563"}],"version-history":[{"count":351,"href":"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/563\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17665,"href":"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/563\/revisions\/17665"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/convention.cpa.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
