APNA Supports Joining Forces! The American Psychiatric Nurses Association is proud to pledge our support to the national Joining Forces campaign. We have partnered with other organizations in the nursing community such as ANA and NLN to collectively champion and further this valuable endeavor. Joining Forces is First Lady Michelle Obama’s comprehensive national initiative which calls upon us as a nation to take action in providing the support and treatment our service members and their families need as they reconnect with their communities, particularly when it comes to employment, education, and wellness.
