<P> </P>
<P>I think you might have to purchase the brochures from the APS, but I am not totally sure.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Great idea to write to them about 'us' and what CP can offer! Thanks for doing this.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Kind regards</P>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am exploring assignment options at Australian Volunteers International (AVI)<A href="http://www.australianvolunteers.com/work/index.asp" target=_blank>http://www.australianvolunteers.com/work/index.asp</A>. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>AVI is currently recruiting for placement in april 2010 and has an information evening in Perth on 6 August. I was surprised and dismayed to find that psychology was not listed among the skills needed <A href="http://www.australianvolunteers.com/work/index.asp?menuid=160.030" target=_blank>http://www.australianvolunteers.com/work/index.asp?menuid=160.030</A> . </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Searching the extensive website I only found one reference to psychology or psychologist, namely Christine Baker of Townsville had done a recent stint in Sri Lanka <A href="http://australianvolunteers.com/index.asp?menuid=180.030.040&art_id=2071" target=_blank>http://australianvolunteers.com/index.asp?menuid=180.030.040&art_id=2071</A> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am going to write to AVI to alert it to the fact that Community Psychologists are particularly suited to asssignments in mental health (it only lists medical professions such a doctors, nurses and psychiatrists), social justice (it only lists law and justice for legal professionals) and community/social development ( it lists social workers, sociologists and community developers among others, but not psychologists, let alone community psychologists).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I would also like to send them a link to the excellent Community Psychology brochure I found in my 11th Trans-Tasman Com Psych Conference pack. The information from the brochure is on the APS website but not in brochure print-out form. Could somebody direct me to a link to the brochure please as I would also like to use it for other job applications. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Many thanks.</FONT></DIV>
