About Korean American Behavioral Health Association, Inc

Since its establishment in 2001, the Korean American Behavioral Health Association has been transforming perspectives and changing lives in the Flushing, NY area and throughout the Korean American community. Built on the vision of pioneering mental health professionals who recognized the critical need for culturally competent behavioral health services, KABHA operates as a volunteer-based nonprofit dedicated to breaking down stigma surrounding mental health and disabilities within immigrant families. The organization's mission centers on promoting behavioral health awareness, education, and prevention while cultivating and supporting the next generation of mental health specialists and special education experts. Over two decades, KABHA has expanded its reach beyond the Korean community to serve other ethnic communities through innovative media campaigns, community research initiatives, and accessible professional support networks. The association recognizes that mental health challenges and disabilities profoundly impact both individuals and society, and works multilaterally to improve the social support system and ensure equitable access to quality care. KABHA's commitment to community transformation is demonstrated through its ongoing programs including annual mental health campaigns, resource development for immigrant families, professional mentoring and support groups, and specialized workshops for developmental disability parents. By connecting mental health professionals with those seeking care, providing culturally sensitive education, and advocating for improved services, KABHA continues to serve as a vital bridge between the Korean American community and comprehensive behavioral health resources.
