| Attention Students |
 It
is the intention of LAGPA to reach out to you, the budding
mental health professional, even now as you complete your
years of formal training. We wish to serve you to the
fullest capacity that we can, and seek to offer you the
opportunity to develop your voice within the gay and lesbian
mental health field. We need to know how we can best serve
you, and are eager to extend to you whatever assistance that
we can.
|
|
Here's how LAGPA can help you... |
 |
Through the development of a governmental
interface and monitoring program, that will
promote the needs and concerns of our membership,
and alert the membership to current and proposed
policies effecting our community and professional
practice. |
|
|
Through the development of our mentoring program,
so as to help you find the "right" person to help
you on your journey to becoming an excellent
psychotherapist. |
|
|
Through the growing referral service and
networking programs that LAGPA sponsors. |
|
|
By being the only association in Southern
California to offer a full program of education
designed for those who work within the gay and
lesbian community as a psychotherapist. |
|
|
By inviting you to submit a letter of interest in
presenting your work in our poster session at our
annual conference. |
|
|
As we expand our technology to reach a wider body
of persons in need of your education and training,
we invite your input in the creation and
management of our web page. |
|
|
As we look for fresh ideas and approaches to
serving the membership, and the gay and lesbian
mental health field at large, you can have an
impact on policy, program development, information
systems, and other areas which LAGPA is currently
developing. |
|
|
By offering a low fee for membership, of only
forty dollars
($40). |
|
|
As we actively seek persons who wish to help
students preparing for a career in mental health
by financial means, we will be able to offer
scholarships and grants sometime in the near
future |
|
|
|
|
And these are just the few ideas for you to begin exploring.
We look forward to hearing what you have to say, and letting
us know what we can do to help you and what you are able to
help us through your talents, time, and enthusiasm to help
others just like you now and in time to come.
Dont wait till youre licensed to act--you dont have to! |
