Please be aware that it is GPA policy that presenters must be doctoral-level (i.e. have received a doctoral level of education and training). If a workshop is being co-presented by multiple presenters and one or more than one of the presenters is not doctoral level, then 50% or more of the workshop must be presented by the doctoral-level presenter. This must be made clear based on the schedule of the workshop as indicated later in the application. Exceptions may be recognized in individual cases, such as in the case of a national expert in a specific field, or experts in another related field with adequate formal mental health training.
