About SERPN

The SERPN Division of the International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses (SERPN) was officially organized in 1986. Its predecessor was a group organized in 1983—the Council of Dean and Directors of Graduate Programs in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing. Thus from its roots SERPN has concerned itself with graduate education in psychiatric nursing and the evolving research base for psychiatric nursing practice. Now as a component of ISPN, the division's members are a vital mix of educators, researchers and Advanced Practice Nurses; all dedicated to addressing the mental health needs of the consumers via the education and development of the advanced practice workforce, research, and innovative practice models.
