Initiatives
The PAND Foundation’s initiatives are driven by a multidisciplinary team of licensed psychiatrists, mental health, legal, and business professionals, educators, and researchers, all overseen by a dedicated board with day-to-day operations managed by specialized staff and volunteers. Their activities—primarily conducted online via virtual platforms to reach a wide audience, yet also include in-person conferences, workshops, and events at universities, medical centers, and treatment centers—focus on advancing psychiatric education and innovation in mental health treatments.
