SPSMM has a series of Task Forces and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) comprised of members, student affiliates, and professional associates whose professional and personal interests coalesce around specific issues. Taking part in one of these groups is a great way to connect with others in the Division who share your own focus.
Applied and Professional Practice Special Interest Group (APP-SIG) This SIG is intended to create conversations, share knowledge and experiences among SPSMM members engaged in the psychological treatment and practice with men and boys. Contact: Dr. Jon Davies.
Racial Ethnic Minority Special Interest Group (REMSIG): REMSIG provides a forum for (a) clinicians to share ideas on clinical work with men and boys of color, (b) research mentoring, collaboration, and exchange of ideas on the intersection of race, ethnicity, and masculinity, and (c) the provision of personal and professional support to members of the special interest group. In order to get more information or to join the REMSIG, you can contact Dr. Shalena Heard.
Student Special Interest Group (SSIG): The SSIG section of the website is intended to be an informal but academic space for undergraduate and graduate students to learn and connect with others who have similar interests. If you would like to get more information or join the SSIG, please contact Thomas Parkman. thomas.parkman@ttu.edu
Mentoring. This SIG serves two purposes: actively engaging and retaining new members, and providing students and ECPs with mentors through a structured and sustainable mentoring program. Contact: Dr. Holly Sweet.
