There
are more services available:
- INFORMATION AND REFERRAL
APA links clients with appropriate services in the
community.
This service begins when a client calls or drops-in. APA
also
refers clients to other agencies providing
culturally sensitive
support to Asian families like parenting education
classes, support
groups, counseling, child care, housing or
employment training.
- TRAINING FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS
APA trains service providers in mainstream organizations
about
Asian cultures and values to increase cultural
awareness. Currently,
APA provides training to Child Welfare workers in the SF
Department
of Human Services, to pediatric interns at San Francisco
General
Hospital and to other Bay Area agencies.
