Elevating Psychology Through Evidence-Informed Strategies for Underserved Communities
Presented by Todd Jenkins, PhD, and Isha W. Metzger, PhD, LCP

Live participation will fulfill 1.5 of the 3 state-required hours in Cultural Diversity.

Despite the availability of evidence-based approaches, significant gaps remain in access, engagement, and effectiveness for underserved populations, including individuals impacted by socioeconomic barriers, geographic limitations, systemic inequities, and other forms of marginalization. This webinar will highlight how integrating culturally responsive, evidence-informed strategies and inclusive language can strengthen psychological practice and advance equity across diverse settings in the field of psychology.

Participants will leave with actionable strategies and resources to enhance engagement, improve outcomes, and integrate equity-focused approaches into their work across settings. This session is designed for psychologists, researchers, educators, and organizational leaders committed to utilizing culturally responsive approaches to reduce disparities in mental health and well-being.

The Texas Psychologist Podcast

The Texas Psychologist has evolved into a podcast, led by Dr. John Delatorre, who brings his experience as Editor-in-Chief of the magazine into this new format.

With episodes already available on TPA’s YouTube channel, the podcast gives members a more direct way to stay connected to the issues shaping psychology in Texas. Topics include legislative updates, ethics, licensure, advocacy, conference participation, and the future of the profession.

This format also creates more space for member voices and timely conversations. Recent episodes feature Texas psychologists sharing their perspectives on advocacy, academia, and conference attendance, helping members hear directly from peers working in different roles and settings across the state.
