| LACPA acknowledges recent changes in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies and their significant impact on psychology students, professionals, and the diverse communities we serve. Clinical experience and research support DEI as essential to shaping competent, ethical, and responsive professionals. These policy changes raise concerns about the future of training programs, mentorship opportunities, and the ability of clinicians to effectively serve diverse communities. LACPA remains steadfast in its commitment to inclusive and equitable education and training, and culturally sensitive care. We encourage continued dialogue, advocacy, and action to ensure DEI remains central to the future of psychology. |
