Asian Community Mental Health Services (ACMHS) serves the Asian & Pacific Islander population. The A&PI population is...

...one of the fastest growing ethnic/racial groups in the U.S.

...extremely diverse, encompassing over 40 distinct ethnic subgroups. These subgroups represent a tremendous range, not only in cultural and linguistic differences, but also in socioeconomic, educational, and generational differences. All of these factors influence the decision-making skills and social support necessary for those in need of mental health, development disabilities, and family support services.

...similar to other minority groups that have historically faced barriers to accessing timely and appropriate mental health and social services.
