✨ Everyone is invited to join us for a Live Webinar on Building Resilience in Youth Through Sport on Monday, November 7th at 7 PM - Registration LINK IN BIO

⚽️This webinar is presented by the SDPA Sport Psychology Committee and the Intellectual Athlete (IA) .

🏸 IA is a proactive mental fitness company, fusing sport, play and elite athlete mental skills packaged for the everyday kid, will present their school-based "Play Built Resilience" curriculum.

🏀IA offers children a foundational skill set similar to what elite athletes use at the height of competition, through play. These skills (breathwork, imagery, positive self-talk, mindfulness, focus) give students a competitive edge on the playing field, in the classroom, and can be used to combat stress in everyday life. Using a physiological, not clinical approach, they tap into the therapeutic core of sport and play to help young people practice these skills and experience their benefit first-hand. The IA team believes that Resilience needs to be experienced.

‼️New Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements will take effect on January 1, 2023.

➡️ These new requirements will replace our current Continuing Education (CE) requirements and will create new categories of activities that can be used to accrue required CE credits. The CPD requirements have been in development for many years and were officially adopted last week. 



2023 will be a transitional year. If your license will be renewed in 2023, you can use either the current CE requirements OR the new CPD requirements. Starting January 1, 2024, everyone renewing their license must meet the CPD requirements.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐏𝐃 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:

✅ 36 hours of CDP “learning activities” are required for each 2-year renewal period.
✅ CPD broadens the type of “learning activities” that provide credit beyond traditional CE to include these 4 categories: Professional Activities, Academic, Sponsored CE, and Board Certification.
✅ Activities from at least 2 of these 4 categories are required in each renewal period (except for ABPP Board Certification).
✅There is a maximum # of hours allowed for each learning activity (e.g., 27 hours of traditional “sponsored” CE).
✅ For each learning activity, the regulations include a definition, a description of the required documentation, and the maximum # of hours.
✅ 4 hours of CPD on Laws and Ethics and 4 hours of CPD on Cultural Diversity and/or Social Justice are required for each renewal period.
✅ You cannot accrue hours for any learning activity other than traditional CE prior to January 1, 2023.

🔜 CPA will be providing additional information and presentations on this topic soon. Stay tuned for an announcement of a webinar next month. In addition, I will address the new CPD requirements at the Pre-Convention Ethics Institute on September 22, 2022.

❓Have you heard of Superhero Therapy?

🦸‍♀️Superhero Therapy (ST) refers to incorporating popular culture into evidence-based therapy (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, EMDR, DBT, and many others) to destigmatize the client’s mental health experience and promote engagement in treatment. Above all, Superhero Therapy aims to assist the client in becoming their own version of a superhero in real life (IRL), fostering posttraumatic growth and being more willing to engage in treatment-related practices.

🦸🏻‍♂️Capes are optional.
