Welcome to "Psychology is Here", a conversation with APA President @FrankCWorrell and Dr. William E. Cross Jr., one of America's leading theorists and researchers on Black identity, on the #APA2022 Main Stage! 
As the 2022 President of APA, I can unequivocally state that psychology is here. Psychology is here to help. Psychology is here to stay.—@FrankCWorrell #APA2022
Our members are telling us we want to have an impact on the world and we want to have an impact in our field. Framing issues, from artificial intelligence to climate to the pandemic, in terms of human behavior, is how we make an impact.—@arthurcevans #APA2022
We're trying to connect the dots between the challenges that people face and knowledge in the field that can be applied.—@arthurcevans #APA2022
Since 2018, we've seen a 650% increase in the number of times that psychology and psychologists are being mentioned in the media.—@arthurcevans #APA2022
APA President @FrankCWorrell presents Dr. William E. Cross Jr. with the 2022 Award for Outstanding Lifetime Contributions to Psychology. #APA2022
Our most dramatic contribution has been to show that there is no one way to be Black. You can't define Blackness with a pencil and paper or any methodology. If anything our diversity is a representation of our humanity.—Dr. Cross #APA2022
International psychologists look to us, to APA, not as an example of what to do, but what to think about when returning to their countries. We are role models, not just for the United States, but for much of the world.—@FrankCWorrell #APA2022
Congratulations again to Dr. William E. Cross, Jr., winner of the 2022 APA Award for Outstanding Lifetime Contributions to Psychology! #APA2022
Thank you for joining us for today's Main Stage session. We'll be back again tomorrow at 11 AM CT for "The Kids Are Not Alright", a conversation about addressing America's youth mental health crisis. See you then! #APA2022
