History:
APAP used to stand for the Association of Psychologists and Allied Professionals of St. Maarten and was established in 2016. We decided in 2021 to resolve the formal body of an association. The requirements and costs connected to upholding an association turned out to not be feasible to continue. We do still think it is important to continue as a group to work on above mentioned goals, so as a result of this the Alliance was born.
