APA Foundation News

Save the Date: Saturday, July 10th for the inaugural MOORE Equity in Mental Health 5K event hosted by APA’s Division of Diversity and Health Equity and the APA Foundation!

As experts increasingly warn about the pandemic’s social and emotional toll on students, schools that have already implemented the APA Foundation’s Notice. Talk. Act. at School program report feeling empowered to talk with students.

APA and APA Foundation are sponsoring the redesign and enhancement of Takoma Education Campus’ second floor staff lounge. 

In honor of the late Judge Stephen S. Goss, the Judges and Psychiatrists Leadership Initiative (JPLI) has established an award to acknowledge his tireless efforts to rethink how judges and others handle cases for defendants with behavioral health needs.

We are excited to announce the official launch of Notice.Talk.Act.® at Work, an e-Learning Module for managers to help create mentally healthy workplaces.

"Experts fear some students will be characterized as oppositional or disrespectful when returning to school after virtual learning, but programs like the APA Foundation’s Notice. Talk. Act. at School can help."

The APAF is pleased to be partnering with Art With Impact as a sponsor of their 3rd annual short film competition focused on destigmatizing mental health, Voices with Impact.

In spirit of the season of giving, the APA Foundation recently donated a total of 1,800 N-95 masks to five psychiatric hospitals in Central America.

Notice.Talk.Act.® at School is featured in Equity & Access Pre K-12 magazine's Nov/Dec 2020 issue.
