Who We Are
Psychologists in Long Term Care is a professional organization dedicated to the advancement of psychological practice in long-term and skilled nursing care. Functionally, cognitively, ethnically, and culturally, older adults as a clinical population are by their nature some of the most diverse clientele a clinician can work with. As a network of practitioners (but also scholars and researchers) we are psychologists, geropsychologists, students, retired psychologists, and affiliated members with strong interests in serving the increasingly diverse population of adults in long-term care.PLTC offers many benefits to our members, including:
- Quarterly PLTC Newsletter (download a sample issue here).
- Mentoring and leadership opportunities, as well as being mentored by experts in the field.
- Stay connected with the exclusive PLTC Listerv for networking, consulting, and sharing current issues and changes in aging and long-term care.
- Attend to exclusive PLTC Conversation Hours and several other educational opportunities.
- Access to free journal articles.
- And much more!
