The ANPA condemns injustice and deplores the pernicious impact of systematic racism on the patients we serve. Since its inception over 30 years ago the ANPA and, most especially the patients served, have benefited from the diversity of its membership - the ANPA has members spanning the globe committed to the wellbeing of all communities.   Our mission of improving the lives of people with neuropsychiatric disorders allows ANPA to address the societal inequities that are barriers to good health and well-being.  We stand with those who express outrage over institutionalized racism and police brutality, and add our voice to the demand for social justice for all people, now.  The ANPA is committed to caring for the mental and physical health of all people regardless of race, religion, gender or nationality.
