We are excited to introduce Catalyst.

Formerly the APA Leadership Development Institute (LDI), Catalyst serves as a hub for students, clinicians, researchers, and system leaders, offering evidence-informed, cross-career learning and development.

Through flagship programs such as the Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) and the Leadership Institute for Women in Psychology (LIWP), we have supported emerging leaders in behavioral health to become changemakers in the communities they serve.

As we expand with newer initiatives like the Undergraduate Summit and the Interdisciplinary Summit, Catalyst supports growth across the entire career journey and across disciplines. Built on a strong foundation, this next chapter reflects a broader, more connected approach to impact.
