Ensuring Better Mental Health Care Services for our Community
All Asian Americans deserve access to culturally competent mental health care. AAF is committed to increasing the awareness of and reducing stigma around mental health issues in Asian American families. Our goal is to make sure every Asian American in New York city who needs mental health care is able to receive it in a language they speak, from providers who understand Asian cultures.
Since 2017, AAF has been effective in increasing Asian American access to culturally competent mental health services. Our advocacy, research, and efforts to increase funding, have brought attention and resources to our community’s growing mental health care needs, as well as helped to remove barriers to seeking mental health care.
