European Psychiatric Association
European Psychiatric Association (EPA) is the main psychiatry association in Europe. It was established with the aim of advancing psychiatry and mental health care in Europe.
History[edit | edit source]
The European Psychiatric Association was founded in 1983. It was initially known as the Association of European Psychiatrists (AEP), but changed its name to the European Psychiatric Association in 2008.
Objectives[edit | edit source]
The main objectives of the EPA are to promote the highest standards of care and effective treatment for people with mental illness including substance use disorders, to promote the professional development and status of European psychiatrists, and to serve as the authoritative voice of psychiatry in Europe.
Activities[edit | edit source]
The EPA organizes an annual congress, which is one of the largest psychiatric congresses in the world. It also publishes the European Psychiatry journal, which is a leading journal in the field of psychiatry. The EPA also provides training and education programs for psychiatrists in Europe.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The EPA is governed by a Board of Directors, which is elected by the General Assembly. The Board of Directors is responsible for the strategic direction and management of the EPA. The General Assembly is made up of representatives from each of the EPA's member associations.
Membership[edit | edit source]
Membership in the EPA is open to psychiatrists who are members of a national psychiatric association in Europe. The EPA also offers associate membership to psychiatrists outside of Europe and to other mental health professionals.
