Help Support Los Angeles

APA continues to monitor the fire situation and communicate with impacted APA members and the Southern California Psychiatric Society to understand their needs and provide support. They have made it clear that the economic benefits from events like the Annual Meeting are critical to support recovery and preserve the livelihoods of those affected by the fires. With that in mind, the Annual Meeting will continue as scheduled so we can contribute to this recovery and foster the economic renewal needed now and in the months ahead.
