Asian American Community Services, Inc. (AACS), is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to the well-being of our community. We understand the challenges of fitting in self-care into already busy schedules with competing priorities. We understand your time is valuable, and we seek to focus our advocacy and efforts on hard-to-reach populations including first responders, law enforcement, health care providers, faith leaders, and veterans, service members and their families.
What We Bring to Our Community: Our physical and mental health are interconnected and often cannot be managed separately. More importantly, social determinants of health may contribute to poor outcomes among vulnerable populations and those whose primary responsibility is to care for us. To that end, our services also include financial education, assistance with immigration issues and low-cost housing, and facilitating access to career paths through sponsorship and vocational guidance. We strive to bring awareness to the community and empower participants with tools to manage their chronic conditions, whether physical, emotional, or environmental, and to advocate for themselves, their coworkers, and their families.
