attached here, which she gave in February, that was very similar to what
she said the Conference. Two of those projects, the Bethany Community
Kitchens and the Laverton Community <font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>R</span></font>enewal,
have involved community psychology students; what's more, another project that
was prominent at the conference was the Coburg Solar City initative which is

with much of the new government's language being couched in the very things we
teach our students - empowerment, social inclusion, program evaluation etc.
(Program evaluation was recently listed by APA as a growth area for
psychologists, but very few actually specialise in it as CPs do.
