| About us | The African Coalition team develops and implements the mental health education projects for African Communities locally, which became a model to other counties and states for African mental health community engagement. Some of the volunteer board members and consultants are Psychiatric social workers and mental health clinician; provide intense direct clinical and case management at a community setting specifically for African and Caribbean immigrants. As an immigrant based organization, we advocate on behalf of the African consumers, coordinate and assist community members in receiving culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health services. |
