Organization Summary

The Filipino Mental Health Initiative of San Francisco is committed to increasing access to culturally appropriate wellness and behavioral health services for Filipinx/Filipinx Americans in the San Francisco-Bay Area community in partnership with valued stake holders such as mental health providers, practitioners, artists, organizers, youth leaders and their families. We host in-person and virtual gatherings such as wellness workshops, knowledge shares, and offer Mental Health First Aid training in English & Tagalog.

We host social media campaigns such as #usaptayo, a collection of video narratives highlighting mental health journeys of community members and the Kapwa Care Mixtape project, an collective playlist of song dedications to those affected by suicide. FMHI-SF proudly partners with mental health professionals, wellness practitioners, city-wide programs and community organizations who are in alignment with the mission to reduce stigma and address the critical need for mental health support to Filipinx/Filipinx American youth and families throughout San Francisco.
