African Communities Public Health Coalition (ACPHC)
ACPHC was founded by a focus group representing the faith-based leaders, businesses, service providers, community leaders, organizers, and advocates as a result of the growing suicide incidents in the most African communities in Los Angeles. The urgency, as identified by Department of Mental Health and the communities, to address mental health and wellness in the African immigrants urged the collaboration and the formation of the African Communities Public Health Coalition (ACPHC).
