Intersectionality Town Hall
Register for Town Hall Events
This novel program, which will consist of four webinar presentations, is the first collaboration among the Asian Neuropsychological Association (ANA), Society for Black Neuropsychology (SBN), Hispanic Neuropsychological Society (HNS), and Queer Neuropsychological Society (QNS). The four presentations that this program will cover include: (1) introduction of intersectional approach to social change, policy, and practice; (2) relevance of intersectionality in supervision and training experience; (3) integrating intersectionality into clinical practice (development of interventions, recommended treatments, diagnostic considerations); and (4) applications of intersectional approach in research. Our first two events were held on January 27, 2022 and March 31, 2022 (see below for details). The next event will be held on Tuesday, May 3, 2022. We anticipate that a subsequent event will be held in July 2022. Each will provide 1 hour of CE.
The Importance of Intersectionality In the Practice of Psychology
Martinque K. Jones, PhD
Assistant Professor, University of North Texas

Date & Time: May 3, 2022 (2:30 PM – 4:00 PM EDT)
Abstract: Participants will be introduced to the concept of intersectionality and how this framework may be used in the practice of psychology.

The presentation will end by discussing ways may enact intersectionality to promote social justice and equity.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will describe the historical roots and meaning of intersectionality.
2. Participants will identify ways to incorporate intersectionality into their clinical practice (therapy, assessment, and supervision).
3. Participants will explain how intersectionality may be used to address systemic inequities influencing mental health service utilization.
Format: 1 CE for 60 minutes presentation attendance (required), 30 minutes of Q&A to follow (optional). To earn 1 CE credit, attendees must register for the CE track and complete the evaluation form below that will be available after the event ends.

Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will describe how intersectionality interfaces with neuropsychological assessment.
2. Participations will explain how the ECLECTIC Framework facets impact cognitive functioning and the neuropsychological assessment process.
3. Participants will identify tangible ways to reduce discrimination in neuropsychology.
