The Society is about to set up a mentoring database to assist members who are new to NZ or who have recently graduated giving them the opportunity to talk with an established colleague. How is mentoring different from professional supervision? Mentoring is different from professional supervision. Supervision is a formal relationship focused on work with clients within which the supervisor often carries responsibility for the safe practice of the supervisee. Mentoring, on the other hand, is an informal supportive relationship designed to help new graduates or newcomers to New Zealand to negotiate the broader professional environment. This might for example involve discussing opportunities for career development or offering reflections about what helped you in your own career. It would not ordinarily involve discussion of actual client work. Professional supervisors usually charge a fee for supervision whereas a mentoring relationship is normally a collegial relationship without a fee. If you would like to put yourself forward as a mentor on the NZPsS database please contact us at [email protected] and we will provide more information.

Student Space From your student repMichele Blick 2016 Annual Conference Thank you to the students who have shared the knowledge and experiences that they gained as a result of attending the 2016 NZPsS Annual Conference. As noted by Gerard Dolan, “The conference is also a time I look for inspiration, encouragement and guidance – 2016 did not disappoint.” Carrie Clifford writes about Janel Gauthier’s workshop, May-Lee Chong shares her experience of presenting, Gerard Dolan reflects on his interaction with delegates, and Helen Pearse-Otene has creatively captured her experience via photos. Ethics and moral engagement: How to maintain and strengthen virtue in an ethnically diverse world - Janel Gauthier Students found the workshop to be a practical and engaging experience. Gauthier discussed the mechanisms of moral disengagement. Those attending the workshop identified such mechanisms in vignettes (cases) before identifying ways to maintain moral engagement and strengthen virtues. Attendees considered and discussed their personal and professional ethics and moral engagement. These exercises, alongside Gauthier’s expertise, helped workshop attendees to recognise that being an ethical psychologist requires a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes. Carrie Clifford Victoria University – Clinical Programme

A study of the transition away from offending – May-Lee Chong Kia ora tatou, my name is May-Lee Chong and I am a Master’s student at Massey University. I recently did a 20 minute presentation on ‘The process of youth desistance from crime’ at the NZPsS conference. I had some initial concerns that the work I put into my presentation would detract from the ‘real’ work of writing my thesis, but I found that it helped refine and clarify my ideas which has actually made my writing easier to do. The conference itself was filled with interesting and friendly people and my audience was really supportive of my presentation. I would definitely recommend that anyone submit an abstract and go along to conference! Ngā mihi, May-Lee Chong Massey University - Master of Arts (Psychology)

Conference Impressions … The New Zealand Psychological Society conference this year was a real opportunity to catch up with old friends and lecturers over the three days. As a perpetual student, the number of people I had to catch up with was large. My experience of people at the conference varied from the excitement and keenness of the aspiring clinical and professional psychologists, to the considered and serious discussions with teachers and senior practitioners. The conference is also a time I look for inspiration, encouragement and guidance - 2017 did not disappoint. Gerard Dolan Gerard completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Pain Management at The University of Otago and he is currently enrolled in the clinical neuropsychology paper at Massey University.

The problem with conflict … - Sonja Macfarlane A day flies by when attending an excellent workshop such as Sonja Macfarlane’s. Sonja modelled her manaenhancing philosophy by creating a positive, safe, and non-judgemental space to learn. The ideas and concepts were more meaningful as a result of the professional and personal experiences that Sonja shared. The workshop explored interpretations and perceptions of conflict and the psychological implications. In addition, we discussed cultural understandings about conflict and traditional Māori intervention. Sonja reminded us that the process and analyses of assessment ‘must be validated against the values and worldview of the individual and whānau’. Models and frameworks were shared to support culturally responsive practice and cultural enhancement. Since attending the workshop, Sonja’s Cultural Competency Poutama has facilitated reflection and evaluation of my cultural competency. The learning from this workshop has been particularly helpful in my internship year. Michele Blick Massey University - Intern Educational Psychologist

Psychology Week – ‘Living Life Well’ Last year during Psychology Week events were held all around the country.

Request for Assistance Dear NZPsS members, My name is Madeleine Stapleton. I am currently in my fifth year of study at the University of Waikato where I am completing a Master of Applied Psychology (Organisational Psychology). For the thesis component of my degree I am looking into the positive and negative psychological consequences experienced by New Zealand clinical psychologists who work with traumatised clients. More specifically, I am looking into the relationship between secondary traumatic stress and vicarious posttraumatic growth for this sample. Ultimately, the goal of my research is to determine the factors that protect against secondary traumatic stress and the factors that facilitate the development of vicarious posttraumatic growth. In order to reach this goal, I have created an online survey that I hope you will participate in. Completion of this survey is voluntary and takes approximately 15 minutes. Should you decide to participate in this study and complete the survey, this will be considered by the researcher as giving consent. The survey will ask for demographic information as well as information relating to secondary traumatic stress symptoms, cognitions after being indirectly exposed to traumatic events, potential growth after such exposure, self-efficacy, perceived social support, and engagement in self-care strategies. Participants will have the right to withdraw from this study prior to their survey response being recorded. As survey responses will remain anonymous, once your response has been recorded it cannot be traced back to you or be removed from the data file. Responses will be stored by the researcher on an external hard-drive and will be viewed by the researcher herself as well as the two supervisors of this study: Jo Thakker and Michael O’Driscoll. Should you experience discomfort after completing the survey, it is encouraged that you seek the appropriate support from your supervisor. Alternatively, you can

contact Jo Thakker, who is both a supervisor of this study and a registered clinical psychologist. Her contact phone number is 0274699953. If you would like to participate in this study and complete the survey, please do so within seven days of reading this. To complete the survey, click on the link below and follow the instructions.

Are you a psychologist who identifies with an Asian background? You are invited to participate in doctoral research on your unique experiences and perspectives as an Asian mental health professional working in New Zealand. - How does your background influence your encounters Page 7

Request for Assistance with clients? - How do you work with clients from your own culture and across other cultures? - What personal and professional challenges have you experienced? - How do you see cultural competence in relation to you? This study encourages you to reflect on your experiences of working with your own and others’ cultures (including the dominant culture). To date there has been no research on the views of Asian mental health professionals and their experiences in New Zealand. Yet, this is vital for professionals to develop cultural competence in a diverse society. The study involves individual interviews of approximately 1-2 hours conducted at a time and place that suits you, and a brief questionnaire completed at the start of the interview. You will receive a $20 grocery or petrol voucher as a thank you for your participation. Any psychologist who self-identifies with having an Asian background or identity can participate (e.g. Chinese, Korean, Indian, Southeast Asian…). If you live outside of Auckland, please do not hesitate to get in touch as I can travel or interview by Skype or phone. If you are interested or have any questions about the study, please contact Jennifer Liu at: jliu189@aucklanduni. ac.nz Approved by the University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee on 30-11-15 for 3 years, reference number 016477

What is this research about? I am interested in the way statutory child protection social workers are portrayed in the New Zealand media, and also in the views professionals in the wider children’s workforce hold about statutory child protection social workers in New Zealand.

What will participation involve? This survey will ask you what you think about child protection social workers in New Zealand, where you receive information about child protection social workers and your perception of media coverage about child protection social workers in New Zealand. The survey can be accessed and completed online by clicking on the link near the bottom of this email. Completion will take approximately 10 minutes.

Anonymous survey You are invited to participate in this anonymous survey. The survey is anonymised so that there is no link back to participants or their location via IP addresses. You will be asked to provide demographic information and asked to identify your professional role.

What are the participant’s rights? Completion and submission of the questionnaire implies consent. You have the right to withdraw from the questionnaire at any point you wish to, and can choose to stop the questionnaire at any time.

“Who Guards the Guards?” A Self-care Workshop for Mental Health Professionals By James L. Brown, University of Southern Queensland

A half-day workshop exploring the necessity of maintaining good self-care, with practical evidence-based strategies, and an experiential format. Participants will explore the occupational risks and hazards of the profession, and how they can be mitigated against by developing and implementing a self-care plan. The content is based on the work of Norcross and Guy on research supported self-care practices, with topics including self-awareness and self-monitoring, acknowledge the hazards, refocus on the rewards, minding the body, supportive relationships, boundary setting, cognitive restructuring, healthy escapes, flourishing environment, personal therapy, cultivating a mission or purpose, and fostering creativity and growth. At the end of the workshop, participants will leave with a determination to maintain their own self-care, which will aid their effectiveness as professionals, and improve their job satisfaction and career durability in the long term.

INSTITUTE of COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY AOTEAROA

A strengths-based approach to post-settlement practice Dr Rawiri Waretini-Karena

(Ngāti Mahanga/Waikato-Tainui & Ngāpuhi Nui Tonu)

& Dr Ingrid Huygens (Dutch, Pākehā)

Hamilton: Friday 4 November 2016, 9am-5pm Anglican Action, Morrinsville Road This is a practice-oriented workshop to assist leaders, practitioners and trainees to respond in strengths-based ways to the expectations and aspirations of Māori clients and communities, and to work confidently in the area of responsiveness to Māori. Responsiveness to Māori needs and aspirations, from governance through to operations, is now a requirement of government contracts and many community funders. A deeper understanding of historical context, strategy and available practice models will assist in funding applications, strategy, service provision and evaluation of your Treaty-based practice. Ingrid will introduce the issues with a brief refresher on Waitangi Tribunal evidence of Māori aspirations for the Treaty relationship as shown in He Wakaputanga (the Declaration) and new evidence about Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Rawiri will showcase his doctoral research into inter-generational impacts of colonisation, and show how trauma can be approached without activating a deficit perspective. He will cover current models which allow practitioners and clients to work respectfully together on analysis, action and aspirations. Within these frameworks, Western models such as CBT and Māori models such as Whare Tapa Wha can all be used. The workshop will include presentations, group discussions, and the opportunity for organisational strategising. (Bring your current strategy documents and funding applications, etc, with you to look at through a different lens during discussion). This workshop will appeal to managers, Board members, staff and volunteers in a wide range of health and social services. Students, too, are most welcome to attend.
