La COVID-19 a un vaste impact et touche tous les aspects de la vie telle qu’on la connaît. En raison de la COVID-19, la SCP a pris la décision de remplacer son congrès annuel en personne de 2020 par une série d’événements virtuels, qui se tiendront au cours des mois de juillet et août.
La SCP s’est engagée à offrir à ses membres et à ses affiliés la possibilité d’échanger des connaissances et de se rassembler. À cette fin, la série d’événements virtuels présentera des centaines de communications qui devaient être présentées au congrès en personne de la SCP. Elle présentera également un volet spécial consacré à la COVID-19 et aux pandémies.
Nous rouvrons l’appel de communications et sollicitons de nouvelles propositions de communications. Celles-ci doivent porter uniquement sur la COVID-19 et la pandémie et seront présentées en août dans le cadre de la série d’événements virtuels de la SCP. Les communications qui ne sont pas liées à la COVID-19 ou aux pandémies ne seront pas acceptées.
Vous pouvez présenter de manière virtuelle une affiche, une présentation éclair, une communication orale de 12 minutes, une séance théorique de 25 minutes ou un symposium de 55 minutes (comprenant au moins deux communications).
Nous commencerons à recevoir les propositions de communications le lundi 15 juin (https://events.decorporate.ca/CPA2020/abstract/). La date limite pour présenter une communication est le 26 juin. Toutes les communications proposées feront l’objet d’un examen rapide par les pairs. Les avis d’acceptation seront envoyés avant le 10 juillet.
Pandemics are complex dynamic systems that shift and change over time due to the influence of a huge and interacting set of variables. Cultural contexts, although they tend to change more slowly, are similarly complex. Research on cultural processes unfolding under pandemic conditions is therefore fraught with uncertainty. Nonetheless, thanks to research conducted during and […]

Dr. Heather Prime and two colleagues collaborated on a paper called “Risk and Resilience in Family Well-Being during the COVID-19 Pandemic”. They turned to previous crises (natural disasters, economic crashes, etc) to better understand where families are at and may be headed during COVID-19.

CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.
CDC also advises the use of simple cloth face coverings to slow the spread of the virus and help people who may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.

The Montreal Behavioural Medicine Centre (www.mbmc-cmcm.ca), along with international team of over 150 researchers from more than 40 countries around the world, are trying to assess the public perceptions, attitudes, concerns, and responses to the various measures put in place to prevent or reduce the spread of COVID-19. The study, led by Dr. Kim Lavoie (UQAM, CIUSSS-NIM) and Simon Bacon (Concordia University, CIUSSS-NIM) in collaboration with several CPA members from across Canada, will link the survey to policy and case data from around the world to estimate the effectiveness and impacts of current strategies used to ‘flatten the curve’ of COVID-19.
Thanks to your help, we received over 35,000 responses for phase 1! (see preliminary result updates here: https://mbmc-cmcm.ca/covid19/stats-wave1/)

As the COVID-19 situation evolves around the globe, students’ day-to-day lives are being increasingly disrupted: courses have been moved from in-person settings to online formats; visits with friends and families have been prohibited; access to resources such as the on-campus library, student counselling services, or other campus spaces has been lost; some students have had […]
COVID-19 is not only impacting everyday life; it is also impacting faculty and research teams in many ways, from how to transition to online classes, how to work and best support students remotely, how to adapt current research projects while ensuring the welfare and safety of research subjects, and how to pay salaries/stipends and other […]
Given the impact of COVID-19, the CPA and the provincial-territorial psychological associations have written the large insurers in Canada (i.e., Aviva, Canada Life, Greenshields, Manulife, Medavie/Blue Cross, and Sun Life) to remove barriers to psychological care across sponsored plans and evolve in their coverage (see letter).
Le 23 avril, le premier ministre Justin Trudeau et la ministre de la Santé, Patty Hajdu, ont annoncé un investissement de 115 millions de dollars dans l’intervention de recherche rapide du Canada contre la COVID-19. Cet investissement comprend la première possibilité de financement s’inscrivant dans l’initiative sur la santé mentale et la COVID-19, Synthèse des connaissances : Santé mentale, toxicomanie et COVID-19. Lancée hier, cette possibilité de financement permettra de répondre aux besoins immédiats en matière de services de santé en encourageant des synthèses et des plans de mobilisation des connaissances rapides qui aideront à adapter les services de santé mentale et de toxicomanie existants au contexte de la COVID-19. La date limite pour présenter une demande à cette possibilité de financement est le 7 mai.

Daily Audio Update: Dr. Karen Cohen on advocacy during COVID-19
Quick chat with CPA CEO Dr. Karen Cohen about advocacy during COVID-19. Calling for insurers to cover tele-psychology, and drop the requirements for a physician referral for psychological services.
What is on the docket for the CPA in terms of advocacy for psychologists doing tele-psychology?
Advocacy for access to funded psychological services has been on the docket for us for some time. I think there are some exciting things happening now. The Canadian Alliance for Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH), for example, is putting together a policy position calling for parity – so, requiring our governments and funders to provide coverage equivalently for mental and physical disorders.
HEAL, which is organizations for Health Action, all the national health care organizations, also has access to mental health services as one of it’s advocacy priorities. And the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) has put together a network on which CPA sits, looking at access to psychotherapies for Canadians. So that work will continue.
In the current situation, we’ve been in touch with the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA) and we’ve been calling on them to reach out to all their members, who are all the individual insurers, to cover services delivered virtually by psychologists. Every plan differs and that’s one of the challenges when it comes to doing advocacy when it comes to access, particularly in the private sector. There’s not one funder and there’s not one plan and there’s not one plan sponsor. They all have oversight individually over what those plans look like, so you can imagine how many conversations have to be had to make the change we’re looking for.
This is why it’s helpful to have an organization like CLHIA, because they have a conduit to their insurance members. The other thing we’ve been asking them is that some policies have a requirement for a physician referral. So to access a psychologist, the plan will cover it IF you’re referred by a physician. We’ve been calling on them for some time to waive this requirement, and especially now.
Our health providers – family doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners – are working hard to address the needs of patients and particularly the needs of patients who might have concerns about COVID. Having them make a referral to a psychologist who is someone you could otherwise see without the referral, doesn’t make a lot of sense. So we’re working hard to try to advocate for that as well.
“This is a an urgent request, on behalf of the Extended Healthcare Professionals Coalition (EHPC) that represents 11 national professional health and social organizations, for a joint technical briefing on the newly introduced programs for businesses, employers and individuals as part of the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan to help mitigate the economic impact of the outbreak….”

The COVID-19 pandemic is having many life-altering short- and likely long-term effects. There are many potential applications of psychological theory, practice, and research that have can contribute to the public good at this time of national and international crisis.
American Psychologist (AP; https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/amp/) invites papers related directly to the pandemic. As for all APmanuscripts, we seek high-impact papers of broad interest covering science, practice, education, or policy. Manuscripts should be written in a style that is accessible to all psychologists and the public.
In these unprecedented times, the CPA Traumatic Stress Section executive wanted to reach out with a document of resources for managing COVID-19 anxiety. This document includes online resources including apps and media interviews, as well as potential strategies for managing COVID-19 cognitive distortions and other tips for managing mental wellness.
We hope you find them helpful and that you and your loved ones are keeping safe,
