About This Cause
Mental Health Association for Chinese Communities(MHACC) has had over 100 free support groups, professional class since 2012. MHACC has held more than 150 educational workshops with lectures given by Chinese speaking psychiatrist and psychologists. We've helped more than 600 families total, and just this year in 2018 we've successfully prevented 12 suicide cases in the San Francisco Bay Area that had roots in depression. Tradition and language barrier have kept many ethnic Chinese mental patients and their families from successfully seeking help in a timely and effective manner. MHACC has routinely visited mental hospitals and clinics to offer help to patients and families in need. MHACC has served the communities with the outstanding contribution which were repeatedly reported by local and overseas media such as World Journal, China Daily, Sing Tao US, US-China Press, Chinese Radio, VICE and KTSF television station. MHACC’s volunteers have reached over 10,000 Chinese Americans each year. All of our services are available in both Mandarin and Cantonese and are dedicated to connecting families dealing with mental illness to the educational tools and possible treatments so they can live meaningful lives. We also want to educate the public that mental illness is something physical just like any other illness and can be treated. We have created a new and big family and together we are all going to live prosperous lives!
