Purpose or Mission Statement:

The purpose of the Urology SIG is to provide the space and opportunity for camaraderie, collaboration, networking, and consultation between psychologists working with pediatric patients with urological disorders.

 

Our specific goals are to:

1. Create a network for sharing or accessing resources beneficial to pediatric urology patients (e.g., via list-serv).
2. Identify strategies for promoting equitable access to behavioral health care within urology settings.
3. Organize formal opportunities for meetings to further our mission statement.
