NSGPeople Co-Chair

On behalf of the NSGPeople Committee, we are delighted to share with you our first online issue of the newsletter you know and love. The NSGP newsletter -- now called NSGPeople -- is still here for you, sharing updates, photos, advertisements, full-length articles, but now in a user-friendly online format. Our goals are accessibility and inclusivity, so please let us know how your experience is, so we can best accommodate.

What an intense six months it has been. We are adjusting and adapting together, as we are faced with two pandemics: COVID19 and systemic racism. In this first online issue, NSGPeople is grateful to feature a submission from the Diversity & Inclusion Committee and an Analyze This submission with a crucial focus on race and racism. This is only the beginning. We are looking forward to using the NSGPeople space as an outlet for this necessary and collaborative work of anti-racism.

We are also excited to feature a new section -- the Member Spotlight -- where our first member to have the spotlight is our very own President, Jennifer DeSouza, LICSW, CGP. I could go on and on about everything new in this issue; I’ll let you explore for yourselves.

If you have something you would like to contribute to the next online issue, please email us at newsletter@nsgp.com.

You will hear from her a little further down, but I especially want to thank and welcome Nadia Khatchadourian, LICSW,
my new Co-Chair!
