HELP EXPAND THE PRESENCE OF WACP THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA

We are start­ing a cam­paign to expand our glob­al reach through social media. Our goal is to facil­i­tate the inter­ac­tion of our mem­bers and friends by iden­ti­fy­ing com­mon inter­ests and expand­ing access to cul­tur­al psy­chi­a­try activ­i­ties and resources.

Our trainee and stu­dent sec­tion, led by William Affleck with sup­port of Sha­bana Jamani, will lead a social media effort with three goals:
expand stu­dent and young pro­fes­sion­al inter­est and engage­ment with WACP;
pro­vide young pro­fes­sion­als the oppor­tu­ni­ty to net­work, and share their own research / work in cul­tur­al psychiatry
increase col­lab­o­ra­tions between WACP and stu­dent young professionals
We encour­age you to par­tic­i­pate by ref­er­enc­ing our social media chan­nels in your pro­fes­sion­al post­ings. This will allow us to fur­ther dis­sem­i­nate your activ­i­ties and expand the WACP network.
