The existing community psychology “competencies” were constructed with the intent of promoting dialogue and innovation in community psychology training and practice. The objective was to provide a common framework for discussion of the skills involved in community psychology practice, and how those skills can be learned. Yet, we are in collective agreement that the voices of BIPOC community psychologists and allies have mostly been left out of this work. Critiques of the definitions have not led to revisions so far. Therefore, as SCRA is working to uproot white supremacy within the organization and decolonize policies and procedures, it is important that we come together to discuss what are next steps to reframe the current statements, such that, they reflect equity and inclusivity as fully as possible.
