We're glad we could REACH you!

Welcome to Assyrian Chaldean Syriac Mental Health!

 

The Assyrian Chaldean Syriac Mental Health organization is dedicated to addressing the unique mental health needs of the Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac communities through a comprehensive approach encapsulated in the acronym REACH:

 

Research, Education, Awareness, Collaboration, and Healing.

 

Recognizing the specific cultural, historical, and social factors affecting these communities, the organization aims to foster a supportive environment where individuals can access culturally sensitive mental health services, resources, and support.

What is REACH?
