APA members represent a diverse and culturally responsive community of psychiatrists that promote mental health equity through the provision of quality mental health care to all persons regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, religious orientation, and/or disability status.

With core values of equity, inclusion, respect, mentorship, and collaboration, we work to achieve our mission of:

• Developing programs and resources to bring awareness to and support the needs of evolving, diverse, underrepresented, and underserved patient populations.
• Implementing strategies to enrich the diverse representation of psychiatrists within the APA.
• Collaborating across multiple medical and non-medical sectors to end disparities in mental health care.
