APA Champions
Community Learning Specialists
In a world that has become so fragmented, disjointed, and insular, sections of our communities have become almost forgotten, with charities and goodwill being the mainstay of the services delivered above any statutory minimum.
APA’s Community Learning programmes support those sections of our communities and offer meaningful and effective psychologically focused learning with elevated trauma-relevant integration.
All our Community Learning Programmes are delivered by APA Champions.
Specialist Recognition Awards
For decades the public have searched for professionals the same way, and for decades the public perception of specialisations is often that professionals have declared their areas of expertise as a directory entry, without scrutiny, much like a preference of the topics they enjoy engaging with, rather than any meaningful knowledge, learning or understanding.
APA’s Recognised Specialist Award rectify this perception and give the public a meaningful starting point in their search for a suitable professional.
