This year, the CPNP Foundation celebrates 10 years of existence, from 2011 to 2021. Over the past 10 years, we have shined light on mental illness, supported research, championed stigma reduction, awarded over 50 research grants, and funded hundreds of registration/travel grants. In the past two years, strategic planning efforts have been implemented to better align CPNP Foundation with CPNP, the member organization, with one ultimate goal in mind: to advance the psychiatric pharmacy profession.

Each of the Foundation’s initiatives exist to support the profession, and new in 2021 were leadership development initiatives and student chapter impact grants to support the next generation of health care leaders! In addition to this, CPNP Foundation is:

  1. Increasing Awareness of Psychiatric Pharmacy
  2. Impacting Local Communities
  3. Growing the Profession of Psychiatric Pharmacy
  4. Engaging Students in Psychiatric Pharmacy
  5. Combatting Stigma
  6. Supporting Patients
  7. Cultivating Leaders
  8. Promoting Networking and Collaboration
  9. Advancing Practitioner Development
  10. Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
