New NYCPS COVID-19 Webpage
NYCPS is committed to keeping you informed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we have launched a new page on our website dedicated to providing you ongoing updates, alerts, and resources. We will continue to monitor developments and update the page regularly so please check back often. Click here to view the page.

NYCPS Events & Meetings
In order to ensure the health and safety of our members and due to current restrictions regarding COVID-19, NYCPS will be postponing all in-person events until further notice. At this time, it is our hope that we will be able to reschedule all events once restrictions have been lifted and it has been deemed safe to do so, however, until then, we are working on providing alternative opportunities. We will make every effort to keep you informed of new developments as they arise, and will let you know once we have rescheduled dates.

Please email us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns. Thank you and please stay safe!

Who We Are 

Since its formation in 1955, the New York County Psychiatric Society, a District Branch of the American Psychiatric Association, has striven to be a resource for both psychiatrists and the public. NYCPS is composed of over 1,800 psychiatrists in Manhattan and Staten Island, and is the largest district branch of the APA.

We promote the common professional interests of our members, while working to improve the treatment, rehabilitation, and care of persons with mental disorders, and to advance the standards of all psychiatric services and facilities. NYCPS also aims to promote research, foster cooperation between those involved with the medical, psychological, social, and legal aspects of mental health and illness, and to make psychiatric knowledge available to practitioners of medicine, scientists, and the public.
