Activities

Our mission is to advance the reach and practice of psychiatric pharmacy and serve as the voice of the specialty. Our vision is to see a world where all individuals living with mental illness receive safe, appropriate, and effective treatment.

The American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists, formerly known as College of Psychiatric and Neurologic Pharmacists (CPNP), is the only professional society representing the interests of neuropsychiatric pharmacists in the U.S. The new name is the result of a studied and measured process and provides a clarity of purpose that will enhance our substantially increased advocacy efforts, streamline our planning strategies, and allow us to proceed with passion, focus, and authenticity into the next 25 years.
