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
