WHO WE ARE

APAP is a nonprofit organization for all PAs who encounter patients with mental health concerns. The Association of PAs in Psychiatry is committed to the advancement of PAs working in psychiatry and mental health. APAP is a member-driven organization.

WHAT WE DO

The Association of PAs in Psychiatry is a member-driven organization. We strive to be a resource for all PAs, that provides advocacy to state and local practices, access to enrich mental health education and networking opportunities among PAs. We aim to expand access to quality psychiatry and mental health.

WHY JOIN

Mental health practitioners are needed now more than ever, yet many states fail to recognize PAs as mental health providers. While only 4% of PAs nationwide may practice exclusively in psychiatry, we know that providers encounter patients with mental health challenges in all practice specialties. By increasing one’s competence in mental health, PAs can help reduce the shortage of mental health providers across the nation. By joining you add your voice to this effort and inspire others to do the same.
