Mental Health Counseling and Case Management

What We Offer

The Mental Health Program was the first service provided by Asian Human Services upon its founding in 1978. Programming is designed to meet the psychological and social needs of Asian immigrant and refugee communities of metropolitan Chicago. The program is Medicaid-certified and nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
