The American Psychiatric Association’s Division of Diversity and Health Equity is thankful and appreciative for our 2022 APA Mental Health Equity Ambassadors. Ambassadors volunteer their time to advocate for APA diversity and mental health equity programs, initiatives and policies. They help APA increase visibility for these topics for these topics both internally and externally and provide input and feedback for the planning of new activities, initiatives and programs that address mental health inequities.
