Mindful Democracy: A Message from NCPA President, Dr. Nancy Laney (1/7/21)
Dear NCPA Colleagues,
As I watched yesterday’s events unfold in the democratic seat of our nation, I felt it vital for all of us to meditate on the principles of our Ethics Code. As we strive “to respect and protect civil and human rights”: may we continue to ground our words and work in fact and science; may we find resolutions that do not verbally or physically harm others where conflict may arise; may we treat all human beings justly regardless of age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, socioeconomic status and/or political affiliation; and may our psychological work continue to be a bastion of “helping the public in developing informed judgments and choices concerning human behavior.”
I hope that you find the resources below helpful should you need them.
