Newtown Tragedy – AACAP Efforts & Call to Action
AACAP was quick to act. We updated our homepage, informed the membership and alerted the media
in hopes of helping communities, families and patients cope with such tragic and traumatic events.
AACAP Resources:
 Children and Firearms
 Children and Grief
 PTSD
 Understanding Violent Behavior in Children and Adolescents
 Disaster and Trauma Resource Center
 Tips for Talking to Children about the Connecticut School Shooting
 Caring for Kids After a School Shooting
 Restoring a Sense of Safety in the Aftermath of a Mass Shooting: Tips for Parents and Professionals
 Children and Guns (2008)
Upon hearing the first news reports of the tragedy at Newtown, AACAP staff immediately got to work
drafting and distributing a series of press releases to roughly 3,800 news outlets (world -wide) with links
to AACAP’s website – updated with related resources on violence, grief, PTSD and firearms.
The press releases were supplemented by pushing the information across social media, reaching roughly
4,300 Twitter followers and 2,800 Facebook followers who then shared and retweeted our information.
Additionally, all related AACAP materials were included in multiple member emails - including a tips
sheet by David Fassler, M.D. and a fact sheet from Stephen Cozza, M.D.
In the span of four hours, the Communications department fielded over 40+ media calls and set up 20+
media interviews. In addition, AACAP media experts gave over a dozen live interviews. Based on the
volume of media calls, we instructed journalists to contact our media experts directly. As we follow up
with each and every request, we will post all articles in the AACAP News Clips.
Media outlets included:
 New York Times
 USA Today
 New York Post
 Huffington Post
 National Public Radio (both local and national)
 Discovery News

We sent emails updating the membership to our materials and website as they became available. We
reached out the Assembly & Regional Organization Presidents and Delegates and made a special effort
to reach out to Brian Keyes, M.D., President of the Connecticut Council of Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry, to help craft an email to the all Connecticut members.
A special “kudos” to Steve Cozza, M.D., Disaster & Trauma Committee Chair, for his quick response,
leadership and flexibility, faced with feeling under the weather, was able to craft language and handle
press calls from his house!
As we continue to work together with leadership, committees and members alike, we’ll keep making
resources available to the membership and the public at large. As President Obama stated in his speech
to the Newtown community, caring for our children is our nation’s first task. It is time to work together
to make this a reality.
In the aftermath of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, AACAP has called for a White
Summit on children’s mental health. Members are encouraged to send letters to members of Congress
supporting AACAP’s call for a summit. AACAP created a sample op-ed article for members to use to
send to their local papers, as well as, a list of talking points for speaking with the media. We also
worked with Dr. Drell to craft a letter to the editor and an opinion piece. This goal of the summit is to
develop a comprehensive national strategy for the prevention, identification, treatment and r esearch
of mental illness. AACAP has been and will continue to meet with Congressional leaders regarding
this summit. In addition to this AACAP has also submitted policy recommendations to Vice
President Biden’s task force on gun control.
2013 AACAP Priorities
The Executive Committee met with AACAP Directors to review projects for the coming year and
discussed which staff members and AACAP Committees were involved in each project. Projects
include (in alphabetical order):
 Back to Project Future Recommendations Approved and Presented to AACAP Membership
 Education of Members about DSM-5
 Education of Members about Healthcare Reform, including Electronic Medical/Health
Records
 Education of Members on New CPT Codes (going into effect in January 2013)
 Evaluation of new AACAP Practice Parameters Process

Back to Project Future (BPF)
Chaired by James MacIntyre, II, M.D.
On October 22, the Steering Committee met in San Francisco to further discuss and gather ideas to
be used for Back to Project Future and its final report. Dr. MacIntyre and subgroup leaders were
able to obtain useful feedback from members during "member to member" sessi ons in the Exhibit
Hall, at committee meetings, and at the Town Meeting that took place on Thursday, October 27.
Members were pleased to have the opportunity to talk with the leadership group directly and provide
feedback as well as express their concerns. Dr. MacIntyre gave brief presentations about the project
during the Council meeting, the Assembly meeting, and at the Committee Chairs meeting.
Additional emails were sent out to these groups in December to remind them to provide input before
the end of January. A set of the project's overarching core values and principles was drafted and
published with an article with updates on BPF in the first 2013 issue of AACAP News. In December,
Dr. Drell appointed child and adolescent psychiatry residents and early career child and adolescent
psychiatrists to each of the BPF subgroups to ensure that younger members are well represented.
60th Anniversary Committee
Chaired by Robert L. Hendren, D.O. and Marilyn Benoit, M.D.
The 60th Anniversary Committee met in San Francisco and to begin brainstorming about how best to
celebrate in Orlando and reflect on AACAP’s past, present, and future. After the meeting it was
determined that additional members were needed to fulfill all of the tasks required for the
anniversary and the traditional Local Arrangements functions, so the Committee now includes 19
members. Committee members are in the process of contacting all of the Committee Chairs as well
as regional organizations to gather ideas for what these groups would be able to contribute to the
anniversary. The Committee will meet on January 31 to narrow the ideas and assign roles to the
Committee members.
60th Anniversary History Project
Robin Cautin, Ph.D. continues to write a monograph of AACAP’s first 60 years, c onduct oral
histories, review archive materials, and interview various AACAP members for the project.
Component System
The Review of the Committee System (ROCS) Committee’s decision to cancel fall cluster calls with
committee chairs was affirmed in San Francisco at the Committee Chairs Meeting. As part of the
annual process, the first half of the Committee Chairs meeting is dedicated to updates/reminders and
reports and hearing feedback from chairs. During the second half, chairs met with their Cluster
Facilitator to report on the past year and upcoming years’ activities. Dr. Drell stressed to chairs to
evaluate their committee’s charge and the level of member activity when recommending
appointments and reappointments.
PAC Update
AACAP is moving forward with the creation of the 501(c)(6). In October 2012, Council decided
that the Executive Director will work with AACAP’s attorney and internal staff to de velop the
bylaws for the 501(c)(6) by July 2013. Staff members involved in the process include: Larry

Catchers in the Rye Awards
Oversight by the Assembly Executive Committee
In October, the Assembly presented the following 2012 Catchers awards:
Individual:
Committee (tie):
Regional Organization:
Kristin Kroeger Ptakowski
Ethics Committee
Psychotherapy Committee
Big Sky Regional Council of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry
Assembly Regional Organization Infrastructure Committee (ROIC)
Chaired by Warren Y.K. Ng, M.D.
The ROIC met in October and November to review Level 1 regional organization activities. The Big Sky
Regional Council and Central Pennsylvania Council have made tremendous progress and have not
required administration support for over six months. The ROIC agreed to “graduate” both but
communicate to them that AACAP will continue to support them if needed. Other Level 1 regional
organizations are well on their way to success, which is the ROIC’s goal for all regionals.
Unfortunately, Madison Day resigned due to family and community commitments. In November, we
welcomed Lauren Kokernak, former AACAP Meetings Manager, who accepted the Administrative
Consultant position as of November 30.
Ethics Committee
Chaired by Arden Dingle, M.D.
The Committee discussed a letter received from Dr. Nardo letter regarding the paroxetine article
in JAACAP 10 years ago. Due to the sensitivity, the Committee’s discussion focused on the letter
and the content of the Nardo response. It agreed to mention only the Committee’s appreciation of
his interest and that the topic is being discussed. Dr. Gail Edelsohn drafted a letter that was
reviewed by the chair, Executive Committee, and JAACAP Editor.
Dr. Ed Levin, who presented the Northern California Council’s proposal on Third Party Funding to the
Assembly, attended the meeting in San Francisco to ask that the Ethics Committee review AACAP’s
Code of Ethics. The Committee agreed to review the Code and discussed how best to proceed.

shortly thereafter. The Institute sold out on December 20 at 590 people. There are two exhibitors
registered.
Since this is the first time in recent history that the Institute will be in Washington, DC, it is an
opportunity for more staff to interact with attendees. There will be several staffed tables at the Institute
representing different AACAP departments including membership, development, the mentorship
network, and maintenance of certification (MOC). Government Affairs is also organizing Hill visits for
any attendees who can arrive early on Thursday to visit with their representatives. We expect between

CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME)
Lifelong Learning Committee
Chaired by Sandra Sexson, M.D. and Andrew Russell, M.D.
The Committee finalized the next module in the series, Module 9: Typical and Atypical Development in
Childhood and Adolescence: Protective and Risk Factors, and Relevant Updates for Child and
Adolescent Psychiatrists. It was approved by the ABPN, published in October, and was available at the
Annual Meeting.
The Annual Meeting Lifelong Learning Institute featured a review of Module 9 articles, and included
the following speakers: David Brent, M.D., Gabrielle Carlson, M.D., Richard R. Pleak, M.D.,
Christopher Thomas, M.D., and John Walkup, M.D.
Lifelong Learning Module Sales
Lifelong Learning Module 6: Autism, Psychotic Disorders (Non-Affective), and Updates on Relevant
Topics for Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists expired for CME credit on October 1, 2012. A total of
1,176 modules and exams were sold over the 3 year lifespan of the module, and 727 CME certificates
were issued. This is a 19% increase compared to total sales for Module 5.
During the time period from October 1 – December 31, 659 Lifelong Learning Modules and exams were
sold resulting in $83,038 in gross revenue. This is a 10% increase in modules and exams sold and a 22%
increase in gross revenue from this time last year. Part of the increase in gross revenue is due to the $20
increase in the cost of the Modules. Appendix A contains a summary of modules sold to date.
The new Module 9 is offered at a discount to members who pay their 2013 membership dues and order
the module from October 2012 through January 31, 2013. To date, 544 modules have been sold with this
promotion.
Continuing Medical Education Committee
Chaired by Jeff Bostic, M.D. and Tristan Gorrindo, M.D.
AACAP is undergoing its ACCME reaccreditation this year. The reaccreditation report was submitted
on April 11, and the televideo conference took place on November 9 and Drs. Bostic and Gorrindo
participated in the conference, along with Bennett Leventhal, M.D., Heidi Fordi, CAE, Elizabeth
Hughes, and Quentin Bernhard, III. The final decision from ACCME is expected in March 2013.

Report to the Council, January 22, 2013
The CME Committee selected three Annual Meeting Institutes to participate in a self-assessment
initiative. The Institutes selected for this initiative are:
Institute 2: Bipolar Disorder in Youth: Modern Diagnostic and Treatment Approaches
Institute 6: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in the 21st Century
Institute 7: Autism Spectrum Disorders: Integrating Research and Clinical Treatment
The attendees of these three Institutes received a pre-test, post-test, and 3-6 months after the Institute a
follow-up test will be sent to gauge the change in their competence as a result of having attended the
Institute. The Committee wrote test questions based on presenters’ slides and learning objectives.
Committee members wrote CME questions for the following JAACAP issues:
 October: Behavioral Inhibition and Risk for Developing Social Anxiety Disorder: A Metaanalytic Study
 November: Early Behavioral Intervention Is Associated With Normalized Brain Activity in
Young Children With Autism
 December: Mentalization-Based Treatment for Self-Harm in Adolescents: A Randomized
Controlled Trial
Each year the CME Committee reviews the monitor reports from every Annual Meeting session to ensure
that all presenters adhere to the AACAP disclosure guidelines. In instances where a presenter has been
marked as not adhering to these guidelines the CME Committee co-chairs reach out to clarify these
guidelines and to solicit a response from presenters ensuring that they now understand the disclosure
guidelines and will follow them in any future presentations. Due to a more detailed monitor report form
this year the number of presenters marked as not adhering to AACAP disclosure guidelines nearly tripled
from years past. Due to this large increase the CME Committee is working with the Meetings Department
and Confex to develop an automated system to handle the follow-up process required of all reported
presenters. This new system will cut down on staff and committee time and should also make the entire
process more efficient and accurate.

Report to the Council, January 22, 2013
The Development department processed $192,829 in donations and
grants from individuals, foundations, and corporations in this time
period, compared with $171,736 during the same time period in 2011.
This is an increase of $21,093, or 12.3%.
The 2012 year-end appeals for CFAK totaled $45,346 from 368
donors. In 2011, for the same period, donations were $40,561 from
341 donors. Thus, 2012 saw an increase of $4,785 in donations
(11.8%) and of 27 donors (7.9%).
Please see Appendix B for full year-to-date details.
(NOTE: 2012 donations are still being received. The 2012 YTD donations in Appendix B are through
January 4, 2013).
AACAP’s Campaign for America’s Kids (CFAK)
The Advocacy Day Outreach 2013 CFAK grant application, which was re-submitted, was reviewed by
the Development Committee during its December conference call. The amount requested was $43,750,
to support 50 parents/youth participants and 25 residents.
Committee members agreed that the re-submitted application had improvements, but there was still
concern of measurable outcomes. However, this project was thought to have significant merit and was
supported by the group. The importance of advocacy and the potential role it could play was discussed
in light of the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. Ultimately the Committee agreed that it would be
valuable to fund the entire amount, combining the residual from 2011 ($5,080) and new funds from this
year, for a total of 43,750. It is anticipated that the spring 2013 CFAK request for grant applications will
be initiated in March 2013.
As of November 30, the CFAK fund balance is $317,400.
Virginia Q. Anthony (VQA) Fund
As of December 31, the VQA Fund has raised $65,971 in contributions and pledges. Further
analysis of these contributions:
 Total # of Donors: 143
# of AACAP Members: 135
# of Non-Members: 8
Spouses of Deceased AACAP Past Presidents: 3
 Range of Donations: $20 - $10,000
Cedric and Joanette Egeli, of Egeli Studios (Annapolis, MD), who were commissioned to paint

painting is expected to be completed in February.
Elaine Schlosser Lewis Fund
Previously, Owen Lewis, M.D. postponed the 13th Annual Elaine Schlosser Lewis (ESL) Awards
Luncheon for 2012 to rethink the event’s setup and structure and focus on the 2013 event. Dr. Lewis
and the Development team work closely on a strategy to contact past attendees and invites about 2012
donations.

Report to the Council, January 22, 2013
As of December 31, we raised $31,555 from the three appeals, which is 10% less than the $35,100
raised at the 2011 luncheon. For 2012, ESL Fund raised $59,555. This compares to $43,500 in 2011, an
increase of $16,055 or 36.9% over 2011.
Combined Federal Campaign (CFC)
The 2012 CFC ended December 15. We will see donations from the 2012 Campaign beginning in April
or May 2013. Since 2008, AACAP donations received from the CFC have been:
2008:

2012:
TOTAL:
$3,871
$5,090
$3,963
$5,959
$4,071
$22,954
Since 2008, this represents approximately .05% of AACAP revenue. The Development Committee will
recommend for 2014 that AACAP’s participation in the CFC be discontinued so time can be allocated to
other fundraising initiatives with a higher ROI. AACAP is registered to participate in the 2013 CFC.
Life Members Fund and Subcommittee
Year-to-date Summary (January 1 - December 31, 2012): Seventy (70) Life Members donated the
equivalent of their dues, totaling $29,151. As of November 30, the fund balance is $64,698.
The December 5 eNewsletter received another high open rate with 37.88% unique
viewers. It remained one of the highest open rates of all AACAP member emails in
2012. The eNewsletter included three Life Member Reports by Jackie Etemad,
M.D., “AACAP Annual Meeting Memories”, Douglas A. Kramer, M.D., M.S.,
“Love at the Annual Meeting”, and Klaus Minde, M.D., “My life as a Child
Psychiatrist.” It also included an introduction by John Schowalter, M.D. titled,
“An Appeal from John Schowalter,” as well as an introduction to the Life Members
2012 Award Recipients and Annual Meeting photos.
Highlights of the December Life Members Subcommittee meeting include:
 The dinner attendance increased by 30%, and it was the first ever Owl Appreciation Award,
which was received by Ginger Anthony.
 The idea of a combined Life Members Corner with the Resident Resource Room was presented
for the 2013 Annual Meeting in Orlando.
As of December 31, there are 1,060 Life Members. Life Members now make up nearly 13% of AACAP
membership.
Research Initiative
In 2012, AACAP received funding totaling $100,000 for its Research Initiative project, as follows:
Eli Lilly
$50,000
Shire
$25,000
Pfizer
$25,000
AACAP asked Eli Lilly and Company to increase its support of the Research Initiative in 2013 to
$75,000. An email from Lilly in November 2012 confirmed its support at the $50,000 membership rate,

Report to the Council, January 22, 2013
citing budget and market. $25,000 was received in December; the 2nd installment will be invoiced in
June 2013.
Development will approach its contacts at Shire and Pfizer, Mike Skoein and Elizabeth Pappadopulos,
respectively in January 2013 to renew and increase its support of AACAP’s Research Initiative. AACAP
will continue to identify companies to support this program and establish a plan for growth.
AACAP Roundtable Discussion with Industry Representatives
On January 31, 2013, AACAP will host the 13th annual Pharmaceutical Roundtable Discussion with
Industry Representatives to discuss issues pertaining to sponsorship of AACAP’s medical meetings,
awards, continuing medical education, and other activities. Bennett Leventhal, M.D., AACAP’s
Meetings Manager and Neal Ryan, MD., AACAP’s Gifts and Endowments Committee Liaison, will
attend this event that takes place at AACAPs Washington, D.C. office.

Result
$75,000
$50,000
$50,000
This is a decrease of $150,000, or 46% from 2011. The decrease is attributed to the following:
1) Bristol Meyer-Squibb ($20,000), Janssen, Inc. ($25,000), and Purdue Pharma ($50,000) did not
renew their sponsorship in 2012.
2) Shire’s sponsorship decreased $50,000 in 2012.
3) Eli Lilly’s International Reception sponsorship decreased by $5,000 in 2012.
Pharmaceutical sponsorship support of AACAP Annual Meetings has been in a range of $230,000 $325,000. Since 2006, revenue has been: $250,000 (2006), $245,000 (2007), $300,000 (2008),
$315,000 (2009), $230,000 (2010), and $325,000 (2011).
Thus, the $175,000 support in 2012 is the lowest total since 2006. And, there is no indication that this
support will be increasing due to industry and market trends and increasing sentiment from AACAP
members to reevaluate pharmaceutical support.
A major objective for 2013 is to grow non-pharmaceutical revenue.
Development will work with Meetings, Communications, and the Executive Office to create a 2013
Annual Meeting Sponsorship packet. Development will be asking Council and other key AACAP
stakeholders to engage in this process, which includes identifying corporate contacts.
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism (NIAAA)
Development and Research submitted a letter of interest to NIAAA for 2013 initiatives in December.
We asked them to consider funding the following three projects:
1) The NIAAA Educational Outreach Program (EOP) for Residents: $20,000
We requested they renew its support for this program in 2013.
2) NIAAA Summer Medical Student Fellowship: $25,000

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
Congressional Hearing on the Rising Rates of Autism
On November 29 the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing on the
rising rates of autism and the federal government’s response to the autism crisis. The hearing included
testimony from government officials from the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development and the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. These officials
were questioned on the federal government’s response to the autism crisis. The committee also heard
from numerous patient advocacy groups whom promoted the idea that autism is linked to
vaccinations. AACAP submitted a statement for the Congressional record saying there is not a causal
relationship that is supported by science regarding vaccines and autism and that the limited funds for
autism research must be used to support evidence based research.
Advocacy and Collaboration Grants
(* indicates first time applicant)
AACAP received 11 applications for the 2013 Advocacy and Collaboration Grants, which provide
$3,000 grants to Regional Organizations to engage in collaborative advocacy activities to improve
children’s mental health care in their state or community. There are 10 grants available in 3103,
supported by AACAP’s Abramson Fund. Applicants include: Arkansas*, Big Sky*, California,
Louisiana, Maine*, Maryland, Nebraska*, New Jersey, Northern California*, and San Diego.
Psychologist Prescribing Legislation – New Jersey
The New Jersey legislature continues to consider legislation to grant psychologists prescription
privileges, with A. 2419 passing out of the Assembly Regulated Professions Committee in
December. Anna Vander Schraff, M.D. testified in the Regulated Professions Committee on behalf of
the New Jersey Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, stressing collaborative care with primary
care physicians as an alternative solution to increase access to mental health treatment. Staff is
continuing to work with the New Jersey Council of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the New Jersey
Psychiatric Association in efforts to stop the bill from progressing in 2013.
AACAP Joins Amicus Brief on Florida Law Prohibiting Physician Counseling on Firearms
In November, AACAP joined with the American Medical Association, the American Academy of
Pediatrics, the American Psychiatric Association, and other medical associations in an amicus brief in
support of a court ruling to block a Florida law that limits a physician’s ability to talk with their patients
about the presence of firearms in the home. The ruling blocking the law asserted that the law violated
physicians’ First Amendment rights of free speech and noted that the law’s provisions “fail to provide
any standard for practitioners to follow.” Florida Governor Rick Scott is appealing the court ruling in the
11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Autism and Intellectual Disability Committee
Chaired by Bryan King, M.D., and Jeremy Veenstra-Vander Weele, M.D.
To address the lack of knowledge about the treatment of comorbid conditions in individuals with
neurodevelopmental disorders, the committee formed a working group, led by Jeremy VeenstraVander Weele, M.D., to develop a policy statement urging the inclusion of this group in future research
studies. The draft policy statement has been sent to the Research Committee and Ethics Committee for
input and is currently being revised. The Committee has also formed a working group, led by Matthew
Siegel, M.D., to develop Frequently Asked Questions documents on the changes related to autism in the
DSM V. The working group is drafting two FAQ documents, one geared toward clinicians and one for
families.
Infant and Preschool Committee
Chaired by Sheila Marcus, M.D.
The Committee has formed a training working group that is developing a survey to assess current
training in infant mental health in psychiatry training programs. The working group will use the data
collected from the survey to develop recommendations to be incorporated into training programs. The
survey will be finalized in January. Additionally, the Committee is actively working to increase the
submissions related to infant mental health to the 2013 AACAP Annual Meeting. Small working groups
are developing four proposals to be sponsored by the Committee.
CLINICAL PRACTICE
Quality Issues Committee
Chaired by Oscar Bukstein, M.D. and Heather Walter, M.D.
The Practice Parameter for the Assessment and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with
Schizophrenia was approved by Council in October. The parameter on disaster-preparedness completed
consensus group and will be sent to Council in January for review and approval. Parameters on tic
disorders and cultural competency parameters are in consensus group through the end of January. The
Practice Parameters on eating disorders and children in the welfare system were presented for member
review at the Member Forum at the Annual Meeting and are also out for review by experts until the end of
January.
With the approval of increased funding, discussions have started within the committee on the new
guideline process and the new position that will oversee much of the new guideline development method.

GlaxoSmithKline/Keller et al. 2001
A recently concluded settlement between the United States government and pharmaceutical company
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) raised questions of potential scientific misconduct in an article published in
JAACAP in 2001.1 The JAACAP Action Editors reviewed available information and consulted Michael
E. Reed, attorney at law, and Josh Spieler, Publishing Director at Elsevier, among others. In keeping
with guidelines created by the Committee for Publication Ethics (COPE; http://publicationethics.org/)
for handling instances of potential misconduct in scholarly publishing, the authors were formally asked
to respond to issues raised by the GSK settlement. The editors evaluated the authors’ responses and
preliminary information was shared with Council during the meeting on October 27th. The editors’ final
decision was shared with the Executive Committee in December and will be discussed with Council
during the call on January 22nd. Resolving this issue continues to be a top priority for the Journal.

Report to the Council, January 22, 2013
VISION (adopted by staff October 6, 1998, updated August 2009)
Our vision is that AACAP make a resounding difference in promoting healthy development and in
improving the diagnosis and treatment for all children with mental illnesses; and that all child and
adolescent psychiatrists belong and contribute to AACAP, and utilize AACAP’s strength in the
furtherance of its mission.
Our vision for children and adolescents is that:
 The factors that contribute to mental illnesses are eliminated in children and adolescents;
 Systems of care are delivered in a developmentally appropriate way with cultural sensitivity;
 Parents have the tools and resources to make informed decisions in their child’s best interest;
 Policies and programs nourish resiliency, diminish risk factors, and strengthen protective factors;
 Access is available to a comprehensive continuum of care based on each child’s individual needs,
allowing for a full range of treatment options and services provided by child and adolescent
psychiatrists.
 All forms of child abuse are eliminated.
Our vision for child and adolescent psychiatrists is that:
 They are recognized and utilized to the full extent of their expertise;
 Services are delivered according to the highest moral and ethical standards and according to
professional codes and values;
 The number of child and adolescent psychiatrists is sufficient to respond to the needs of children,
adolescents, and their families;
 Services are compensated appropriately;
 Robust resources exist to ensure optimal training and continuing education;
 Diversity and multiculturalism are encouraged within the field.
Our vision for the AACAP is that we:
 Provide opportunities for the profession of child and adolescent psychiatry to grow and prosper by
educating, nurturing, and mentoring new generations;
 Collaborate with other medical, professional, and consumer organizations to enhance the well-being
of children;
 Educate the public about child and adolescent psychiatry and the ways in which child and adolescent
psychiatrists help children overcome mental illnesses, and encourage parents and caregivers to take
action if they suspect their child has a mental illness;
 Promote research and the continued expansion of the scientific base of child and adolescent
psychiatry;
 Foster a community for child and adolescent psychiatrists to exchange ideas and collaborate to
advance the field of child and adolescent psychiatry.
Our vision is that AACAP is indispensible to child and adolescent psychiatrists as the primary resource
for education, practice needs, and the latest research in the field.
