As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Continuing education is offered to all members. Topic-focused meetings are now offered througout the year by the various committees. All educational meetings are held virtually so that they are universally accessible to all members. Meetings covered topics related to current drug shortages, natural disasters and trauma, the intersection of psychiatry and dei and pain management in the mental health population, telepsychiatry and controled substances prescribing, and a career fair.
The southern california phychiatrist newsletter is issued eleven times a year, september through july, electronically on its website at www.socalpsych.org. The newsletter is now available for free to the public via the web. The newsletter contains scientific, educational, & research articles, editorials, letters, and council highlights. The newsletter is emailed to all members on the publication date. The newsletter has become more and more robust and has a successful open rate.
Regions, committees and the council meet each month to develop new policies and/or improve existing programs. The newsletter committee edited 11 issues of the newsletter. The fellowship and awards committee bestowed awards to several local psychiatrists and programs working towards bettering the lives of people with mental illness. The disaster relief committee participates on the california disaster mental health coaliton. During 2025, for black history month the diversity and culture committee presented, a meeting on the intersection of dei and psychiatry and published a special edition of the newsletter. The private practice committee presented several educational events for the membership. The access to care committee, developed a survey to be sent to nami members (national alliance on mental illness) to determine barriers to access and develop effective advocacy. A new committee was formed, the ai task force, to look at the intersection of ai and psychiatry and to look at developing possible legislation for safeguards.
The government affairs committee looked at several pieces of legislation which had implications to mental and behavioral health and took positions on bills. Ga committee members represented scps at the ca state association of psychiatrists. Ga members were instrumental in reviewing changes due to care court implementation.
The public relations activities included a joint meeting of the scps board of directors along with represnetatives from the nami affiliates in the scps jurisdiction.
Scps is continuing its recruitment efforts with a focus on young psychiatrists and psychiatrists who work in the public sector and developed a recuitment video which can be used at training programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $600k to $706k (+18%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
