Advocacy Affairs
NPA tracks the activities of the legislature and governmental entities to determine general trends regarding issues related to the Association’s interests. These trends reflect the ideas and efforts of policy makers over time and suggest areas in which information or advocacy may be needed. Observation of trends allows NPA to prepare members and policy makers for policy changes that may be pursued by the NPA or others in the future. Legislative Efforts NPA is committed to advocating for the interests of psychology, Nevada psychologists and mental health issues that are important to the public. NPA advocates for legislation that aligns with the core goals and mission of NPA. We monitor state rules and laws that regulate the profession of psychology and maintain a liaison with the State of Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners to stay informed about changes that may affect our members. As an affiliate of the American Psychological Association, NPA is involved in federal advocacy initiatives and lobbies for federal issues that affect the field of Psychology. Initiatives When the Association determines that changes in law or administrative policy are warranted, those changes may be pursued. Legislators or other policy makers may be contacted to discuss proposed changes, and strategies for achieving the desired changes are developed. As a result, proposed legislation, or other policy initiatives, may be generated. NPA WHITE PAPER How can YOU advocate for psychologists and the profession of psychology?
