<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Hello to everyone who expressed interest in the free Community Psychology Seminar scheduled for Tuesday 1 May in Carlton (or was still thinking about it). I'm afraid that
seminar is now booked out. Nothing sells like a freebie <span>😊</span></span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">But for anyone who missed out, the good news is that Steve has agreed to lead a second seminar the following night, this time in Wantirna South – our first venture into
Melbourne’s outer east, and hopefully not the last. <i><span style="color:red">If you have already booked a place for the Tuesday night but would prefer to come to the Wednesday seminar, do let me know asap.

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">See attached flyer and below for details. Feel free to circulate BUT this will book out too so be quick! Space is limited at both venues, and it won’t be possible to just
turn up on the night.</span></p>

<b><i>free</i></b> seminar hosted by the APS College of Community Psychologists will provide an opportunity for attendees to think critically about the dominant discourses in psychology, and to develop their understanding of how a pragmatic, values-led approach
can be more useful for people who are experiencing distress. Steve will make the case that concepts such as power and social inclusion should be central to the work of all psychologists. Consideration will be given to how the ideas and values of community
psychology can be applied to the work of psychologists in individual, community-based and sociopolitical contexts.
