9/11
Culture to Culture Foundation, in coordination with other community organizations, sponsored a fundraising rally in San Francisco to promote Chinese-American participation in helping fund America’s recovery after the September 11 attacks.

Art Exhibition
With the help and support from various community agencies, including Richmond Mental Health Clinic in Contra Costa County, Richmond Area Multi-Services, Asian Pacific Psychological Services (APPS), Alliance for Community Care, and the Asian Community Mental Health Services (ACMHS), CAMHN had the opportunity to sponsor a Mental Health Art Exhibit during the summer of 2003. We received 80 pieces of artwork from mental-health recipients, families, and friends. The exhibit was displayed at the Oakland Asian Library for two weeks in July 2003.

Chinese American Mental Health Helpline
For three years, the Chinese American Mental Health Network in partnership with the Contra Costa Crisis Center provided a mental health and suicide hotline for Chinese Americans. Staffed with bilingual Crisis Prevention Counselors, the hotline was a successful program, and we plan to revisit it in the future. A grant from the California Wellness Foundation funded the hotline for its three years of operation. We will be taking the data collected from this period, and use it to learn how to improve the service in the future.
