Cancellation & Photo Policy

Founded in 1921 as the New York State Association of Consulting Psychologists, the New York State Psychological Association was the first state psychological association in the country. The 21st Century calls for continued work to bring about racial and economic equality. As psychologists, we are trained to promote individual development and worth. We can utilize our knowledge of science and practice to expand our impact to support governmental and social initiatives. Addressing mental health needs, climate issues, equity issues and political activism are all necessary to promote a thriving culture.

NYSPA's 2023 Convention is designed to help New York State psychologists gain skills to help individuals work on acceptance, mindfulness, and psychological flexibility in response to these challenges as well as to reconnect with friends and colleagues. Families are welcome as we plan to provide flexible social time to explore Glens Falls and the surrounding area!

Our keynote address will be given by Dr. Beth Rom-Rymer, who was instrumental in getting prescribing privileges passed in Illinois. RxP is one of the main foci of our legislative agenda this year. Some other topics include racial trauma, how to best use a sliding scale in your practice, disaster mental health, the effects of COVID, and violence in the workplace. You can learn about equitable discipline, and how to work with children who have suffered trauma. There will be an ethics course that meets the NYS Ethics and Professional Boundaries requirements and a special Friday presentation by the Trust on navigating challenging conversations. It will be an incredible lineup!

In addition to interesting programming, much of which will offer CE, we plan to provide time to reconnect with friends and colleagues, or take in some local sites if you bring your family. Some of the social activities that will be offered at the Convention include an awards dinner, cocktail receptions, and other informal times to socialize. 

Glens Falls is a beautiful area about an hour north of Albany. It is rich with Revolutionary history and sits on the Hudson River. On your own, you can explore monuments, historical sites, quirky downtown eateries and shops, or hiking trails. The more adventurous can check out the ziplining nearby, or maybe you’d like to take a golf lesson, rent bikes, or walk near the water. Our host hotel, the Queensbury, is offering a special price on rooms, and the facility contains several meeting rooms, lobby fireplace, 24-hour gym, pool, and is newly renovated. 

Please join us and reconnect!
