Our program offers mental health services to the Chinese community in their own languages and in a way that is sensitive to cultural differences. A team of psychologists and social workers works with a psychiatrist in the delivery of care and provides consultation, assessment and treatment. In addition, AIM works with other community agencies, such as Hong Fook Mental Health Association, to provide mental health services to other Asian groups, including the Korean, Vietnamese and Cambodian communities.
