The Coalition was formed in response to the growing challenges of mental illness in African communities, and to the lack of culturally competent outreach and educational mental health services.
Acknowledging the gap between African immigrants and traditional physical and mental health services, the African Coalition promotes an African-centered approach to mental health care, service delivery.
Empowering communities through free immigration services, mental health, and culturally responsive support
Happy World Kindness to all who celebrate 🎉 (everyone I hope)
November 13 is celebrated as World Kindness Day, a day dedicated to small acts of kindness to creat positive ripple effects to bridge divides and cultivate harmony.🧡
This holiday was introduced in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement, a global coalition of NGO’s formed during a 1997 conference.🫂
We’ve included some ways to show kindness, and have shared how we were kind to our coworkers today!☮️
*We shared kind notes to each other, and someone got surprised with a snack for the days she forgets to bring one*😊
We hope everyone experienced just a little bit of kindness today, and was able to share it with the people around them 🙂
