Summer Presidential Column
Jaz Robbins, Psy.D., BCHN

Hello, LACPA Family! We have officially made it to the half¬way point in the year, and I can hardly believe it.
Annual Convention
It was good to see many of you at our 38th Annual Conven¬tion last month. It was a wonderful time, indeed! I want to take a moment to offer a massive thank you to Dr. Richard Sherman, Chair of the Convention Committee, as well as all of his com¬mittee members. The Annual Convention is our Super Bowl, and much like the Super Bowl, the planning for next year’s Convention begins soon after the current event comes to an end. I have so much appreciation for the work of this committee. Your efforts are felt by all who attend the Convention. Thank you all for working so hard to ensure the event’s success.
President’s Lab Series
In case you have missed the announcements, I am in the process of facilitating a three-part training series on nutritional psychology. Module 1 was held in March and it focused on the intersection of nutrition and anxiety. We had approximately 50 participants present and I had an absolute blast. Module 2 is coming up this month on June 26th and it will unpack the impact of nutrition on depression. The final module will take place on October 2nd and it will focus on nutrition and trauma. All events are facilitated virtually from 12:00 pm-1:30 pm on their respective dates. You can visit the LACPA website to register and obtain additional information. I certainly hope to see you at this month’s event.
