Building Bridges and Leveraging Assets for Community Recovery

Funded by the American Red Cross, the Asian American Federation’s program, “Building Bridges and Leveraging Assets for Community Recovery” (subsequently referred to as “the Mental Health Project” or “MHP”) aims to increase access to culturally appropriate mental health services for September 11th affected Chinatown elders and World Trade Center victims’ families. In partnership with two community-based service organizations, Asian LifeNet (ALN) and South Asian Council for Social Services (SACSS), it aims to connect difficult-to-reach, high-need populations with skilled, culturally competent mental health support. .
