We would like to provide an update on steps that are being taken to create a professional partnership between IntNSA (International Nurses Society on Addiction) and ISPN (International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing).

Leadership from both organizations met last month to learn more about each other, and these meetings confirmed our organization's similar vision, mission, and goals. We are formalizing our partnership which will include sharing, weblinks and information about conferences, workshops and webinars, and possible research collaboration and joint webinars.

We, as current presidents of ISPN and IntNSA, and on behalf of our respective boards of directors, are excited about the possibilities that may open up because of this partnership.

Sincerely,

Dana Murphy-Parker, MS, PMHNP-BC, CARN-AP, FIAAN
IntNSA President
