The breakfast, co-hosted by the Lois Price Spratlen Foundation and the Association of Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses (AAPPN), is an opportunity to reconnect with friends and strengthen our psychiatric ARNP community. 

We’ll recognize the Foundation’s 2025 scholarship recipients and AAPPN’s 2025 award recipients. We’ll also enjoy a delicious buffet breakfast.

Thanks to our event sponsors, there is no cost to attend. To help support our scholarship program, please consider making a donation when you register. All donations will benefit the Lois Price Spratlen Foundation.

Continuing the Tradition

Our scholarship recipients are dedicated to improving the accessibility of mental and behavioral healthcare and clearly demonstrate the character, energy, and courage exemplified by Dr. Lois Price Spratlen, RN, PhD, FAAN.

Meeting the Need

The concurrent rise in depression and substance abuse issues has ignited conversation about mental health and destigmatized diagnosis and treatment. Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners are urgently needed to provide a holistic approach to mental and behavioral healthcare.

If you can’t attend the Scholarship & Awards Breakfast, please consider making a gift to the Lois Price Spratlen Foundation to empower the next generation of dynamic, courageous, and inspired nurse leaders.
