The Mental Health Program was the first service provided in 1978. Programming is designed to meet the psychological and social needs of Asian immigrant and refugee communities. The program is Medicaid and Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) certified.

Our goal is to provide culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate services so that clients can achieve independent and productive lives, and integrate effectively with mainstream society.

This program is for clients ages 18 and over. Individual, Group, Couple and Family Counseling are offered to cope with chronic mental illness, social isolation, acculturation, and intergenerational conflict. These services are also offered at our Mental Health Chinatown office and our Family Health Center on Peterson Avenue.

We provide counseling for youths 17 years old and younger, and their families. The goal is to help resolve social, emotional, behavioral and academic problems. These services are also offered at our Mental Health Chinatown office and our Family Health Clinic.

Our psychiatrists provide evaluation and medication monitoring and our bi-lingual staff offers interpretation for our clients and psychiatrists. This service is offered for both our Adult and Child & Adolescent programs.

This service provides a supportive environment for Asian immigrants with chronic mental illness so that they can learn to manage their symptoms, develop practical life skills and focus on their recovery.

Members enrolled in our Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program (PSR) have access to culturally competent, individual, group and family counseling and case management services provided by our Mental Health department.  In addition,  PSR services include:

• Expressive therapies encourage PSR members to non-verbally express themselves through movement, music and art.  The expressive therapies serve as effective communication tools to help members overcome language and cultural barriers.

• PSR relies on members' input to design effective programming.  Monthly meetings provide a structured forum for feedback, while individual conversations guide daily activities.

We help our clients access necessary services and advocate for their needs - linking them to other AHS programs and to outside resources.

This program offers individual counseling and support groups for individuals and their loved ones who are affected by HIV/AIDS.

We maintain 24-hour emergency services for our clients when crisis intervention is required.
