Listserv

A mailing list, sometimes called an email group, discussion list or listserv, is an automated way to send email to a group of people.  When someone wants to send mail to everyone in the group, the message is sent to a list address.

An automated program automatically copies the incoming message and sends it to the email address of each person in the group, also called the List.

Mailing lists give you access to open discussions with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people on all kinds of topics, using only email.

 

 

AK-PA maintains two email discussion lists or groups:

  • AK-PA - for AK-PA members only.

  • AKPA-MH - for all mental health professionals in Alaska.

AK-PA List.  AK-PA members will be asked if they wish to participate in the AK-PA list on joining or renewing.  Participation is strongly encouraged as news and information is distributed on the list very quickly.  This is particularly important when critical events occur that require rapid response from the membership.  The list is also an excellent means for communication with the AK-PA leadership.  Subscribers can post messages to this list using ak-pa@lists.apapractice.org.

AKPA-MH List.  All professionals working in the field of mental health in Alaska are invited to join the AKPA-MH list.  AK-PA membership is not required.  The AKPA-MH list is an excellent means for sharing resources, disseminating information, and professional networking in general. It is also serving to unite practitioners with different training and licensure.  Subscribers can post messages to this list using akpa-mh@googlegroups.com

You can subscribe, unsubscribe, and manage your subscription to these lists using the information presented here:


TO SUBSCRIBE:  Use the email address below for the selected list.  For the AK-PA list, indicate that you are an AK-PA member.  This will qualify you for subscription to the AKPA-MH list as well.  For the AKPA-MH list alone, please indicate your affiliation and location with contact information for verification as an Alaska mental health professional.  If you have more than one email address, send the message from the address with which you wish to be subscribed.  Finally, indicate how you wish your name to read on posts to the list.  Your full and real name is required (e.g., Jane P. Doe).  Subscribed names do not contain credentials, however, you can include your credentials, affiliation, etc., in your signature when posting messages if you like.  Thank you for your interest.  We look forward to adding you to our online community!
