Quality Advocacy for Psychiatry.
Welcome to the California State Association of Psychiatrists. We proudly represent approximately 1,500 psychiatrists in California dedicated to delivering the best in mental health care and emotional therapy for patients.
We are California’s largest and premier statewide psychiatric association, and the only psychiatric association in California affiliated with the American Psychiatric Association. Whether at the local, state or federal level, CSAP advocates for the policies that best serve our profession and our patients.
If you’re experiencing a mental health crisis, help is available.
