Advancing Colleague Assistance in Professional Psychology

February 13, 2006 -- This monograph, developed by APA's Advisory Committee on Colleague Assistance (ACCA) with contributions from the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB), is intended to alert psychologists, state, provincial and territorial psychological associations (SPTAs) and licensing boards to the range of difficulties a psychologist might face and identify strategies to address concerns before they impair professional practice. ACCA and ASPPB collaborated on the monograph to encourage more SPTAs to develop colleague assistance programs.
