The Coalition was formed in response to the growing challenges of mental illness in African communities, and to the lack of culturally competent outreach and educational mental health services.
Acknowledging the gap between African immigrants and traditional physical and mental health services, the African Coalition promotes an African-centered approach to mental health care, service delivery.

On June 19th, 1865, our enslaved ancestors in Galveston, Texas were finally told : “All slaves are free.” Two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Juneteenth is celebrated as a holiday of freedom. This freedom was fought for, cried for, prayed for, and many have died for.
This special Black American holiday honors the legacy of descendants of enslaved Africans. Remembrance of their ancestors that built this nation through unpaid labor and inhumane treatment. While we do recall the great lengths it took to be given access to bare minimum human rights, today is a day of celebration.🎊
Black is beautiful in all shapes, sizes, languages, colors, and expressions. Our culture and influence serve as the foundation for beauty and fashion trends, musical and artistic expression, and way of life. We are the blueprint for this nation.🤎🖤
We are forever pro black. Black people. Black culture. Black joy. Black wellness.
It’s a good day to be black. ❤️🔱🖤
Happy Juneteenth🖤💛❤️💚
