Since 1978 AAGP has been working to improve the lives of our members’ patients, their families, train the next generation of geriatric mental health clinicians, and advance the research agenda for the mental health of older people. The American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry is a membership association of more than 1,000 geriatric psychiatrists and other health care professionals in the United States, Canada, and abroad, dedicated to the mental well-being of older adults.
