Strengthening Cambodian American Families serves 24 families (at-risk youth and parents) each year through counseling, support groups, and after-school enrichment that promote self-confidence and alternatives to truancy and poor academic performance. In 2006, we led a nationwide organizing effort and health summit to establish the National Cambodian American Health Initiative (NCAHI), which now involves a 12 state effort to address trauma, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as diabetes and health disease that have reached epidemic proportions in the Cambodian-American community.
