NPA 2021 Spring Conference
April 23, 2021 (Live Webinar)
NPA is excited to have Stephen Ilardi, PhD, presenting
Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC)
at the NPA 2021 Spring Conference live via zoom!
Dr. Ilardi is a professor of psychology, clinical neuro-scientist, and nationally recognized expert in the treatment of depression. Over the past decade, his research group has developed an innovative treatment program for depression based on six targeted lifestyle changes, each with established antidepressant effects on the brain and mind. This novel program, Therapeutic Lifestyle Change (TLC), is based on the evolutionary premise that humans are poorly adapted to the sedentary, socially isolated, indoor, screen-addicted, fast-food-laden, sleep-deprived, frenzied pace of 21st-century American life.
Dr. Ilardi’s work on the TLC program inspired his influential TEDx Talk, "Depression Is a Disease of Civilization". It also serves as the focus of his bestselling book, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Program to Beat Depression Without Drugs.
Mark your calendars and watch HERE for registration information coming soon!

NPA Awarded APA Legislative Grant
NPA is excited to announce we have been awarded a Legislative Grant from APA Services, Inc. to help fund prescription privileges for psychologists legislation. This year’s grant is in the amount of $10,000, and will help fund lobbying and education efforts.
The legislative grants are administered by the APA Practice Directorate and the Committee for State Leaders (CSL), who weigh important factors such as the importance of the issue to the profession of psychology, the anticipated effectiveness of advocacy strategy, and financial need.
NPA very much appreciates the continued financial aid of the Practice Directorate and Committee of State Leaders (CSL), and their commitment to supporting small state associations especially during this time of overwhelming financial challenges.

Nebraska Psychological Association Statement in Response to the Killing of George Floyd
The Nebraska Psychological Association is outraged by the killing of Black people by law enforcement officers who have violated their oath to “Serve and Protect” by engaging in unprovoked violence.
Throughout 400 years of American history, racist power structures have perpetrated atrocities against Black and Brown people, including slavery, discrimination, and violence. This abuse of power and privilege is embedded in our institutions, policies, and laws which creates the climate, both for egregious and obvious crimes against people of color as well as for the corrosive injuries inflicted by discrimination and racial profiling.
Please read NPA's full statement HERE.
