Mental Health and Well-being

Mental health is an essential component of overall well-being. However, stigma and cultural barriers often prevent individuals from seeking support. At CAHE, we provide culturally sensitive mental health services and resources to support the mental well-being of African immigrants and refugees. Whether through counseling services, support groups, or educational materials, we strive to break down barriers and promote mental health awareness and resilience.

Empowerment and Advocacy

Empowerment and advocacy are central to our mission at CAHE. We empower individuals to advocate for their rights and access to care, while also advocating on behalf of the community for policies and practices that promote health equity and social justice. Through leadership development programs, community organizing efforts, and policy advocacy initiatives, we work to amplify the voices of African immigrants and refugees and create positive change in our communities.

Healthcare Access and Navigation

Navigating the healthcare system can be daunting, especially for individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. At CAHE, we provide support and assistance to help African immigrants and refugees access quality healthcare services. From helping individuals enroll in health insurance programs to providing guidance on finding culturally competent healthcare providers, we strive to ensure that everyone has access to the care they need.

Health Education and Outreach

Education is key to promoting health and preventing disease. Through our health education and outreach programs, we empower individuals and communities with knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their health. From workshops on preventive care and chronic disease management to outreach events promoting healthy lifestyles, we aim to equip our community with the tools they need to lead healthier lives.
