| Training Description: | Date and Time: 11/14/2024, 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm ET. In this session, researchers and practitioners will share perspectives and experience with regard to assessment methodological research and practice with and for Indigenous Peoples, and why consideration and use of Indigenous Methodologies are important. The moderator and presenters will reference APA’s Apology to Peoples of Color and the Apology to First Peoples in the United States, the historical development and applications of assessment with Indigenous Peoples on Turtle Island and the critical need for moving forward in a good way in assessment research and practice with relevant Indigenous Methodologies as appropriate. Issues of contextual/community/individual relevance of assessment method, cultural contextualization in psychological evaluations, data and Tribal sovereignty will be considered with insights regarding Indigenous Methodologies in development and application of assessment tools drawing from varied situations including but not limited to neuro-psychology, suicide risk, and quality of life assessments in and outside of Tribal First Nations.
This session is in collaboration with APA Division 5; Alaska Native/American Indian/Indigenous Women – Section 6 of APA Division 35; and the Society of Indian Psychologists (SIP). |
