Welcome to MHACC SoCal
Bridging Culture, Language, and Mental Health
歡迎來到MHACC南加州｜跨越文化與語言的心靈橋梁
"Add an interesting quote here."
In Southern California, where over 1.2 million Chinese Americans live across cities like Irvine, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Arcadia, Monterey Park, Rowland Heights, and San Gabriel, the need for culturally sensitive mental health care is real — and growing.
Many Chinese immigrants and second-generation youth face mental health struggles rooted in cultural expectations, language barriers, academic pressure, and generational misunderstandings. But too often, they suffer in silence due to stigma, shame, and a lack of accessible, culturally attuned support
在南加州，生活著超過一百二十萬華裔居民，他們橫跨爾灣，橙縣，洛杉矶，聖地牙哥，亞凱迪亞，蒙特利公園市，羅蘭康和聖蓋伯等城市。我們的華裔社區正面臨一場精神健康的隱形危機：語言障礙、文化誤解、學業壓力與代際衝突，讓許多家庭與青少年感到孤立無援。
About MHACC SoCal
關於MHACC南加州
The Mental Health Association for Chinese Communities (MHACC) began building its Southern California team several years ago, responding to a rising call for culturally grounded mental health care.
We are now rooted in communities across SoCal, with outreach efforts extending from Irvine and Orange County to Los Angeles and beyond — bringing mental wellness services that speak not only your language, but also your lived experience.
美國華裔精神健康聯盟（MHACC）早在數年前即著手建立南加州的在地團隊，致力回應華人社群對精神健康日益迫切的需求。我們深耕南加州多個城市與社區，透過熟悉的語言與文化方式，為有需要的人提供真正「聽得懂、說得清」的心理支援。
A Peer-Led, Judgment-Free Community
同理、陪伴、非評判｜來自華人自身的支援
MHACC is a peer-run, bilingual mental health nonprofit — our team includes people who’ve been there. We are peers, family members, and community advocates who understand the cultural roots of shame, silence, and resilience. We speak your language, and more importantly, we understand your heart.
You are not alone.
無論你是學生、父母、年長者或新移民，我們都在你身旁。你並不孤單。
MHACC是一個由精神健康患友與家庭成員主導的雙語非營利心理健康機構，我們的團隊成員來自華裔社區，都是有親身經歷的過來人，了解華人文化中根深蒂固的病恥感和污名化，所以也知道如何進行最恰當的陪伴與理解。
Youth Mental Health: Our Core Mission
青少年心理健康｜我們的核心任務
We know the challenges SoCal youth face: pressure to succeed, silence around emotions, and isolation between generations. That's why we’re building strong bridges between students, schools, and families — offering culturally sensitive mental health education and support designed for and with our youth.
In 2025, we launched the 心光 Youth Alliance — a new initiative to empower Chinese American teens and young adults as mental health advocates, peer supporters, and change agents in their own schools and communities.
我們深知：學業壓力、父母期望、文化污名與代溝，是許多華裔青少年的心靈負擔。我們致力打造一個橫跨校園與家庭的支援網絡，以文化適配的心理教育與資源，陪伴他們走過這段路。
2025年，我們正式啟動 「心光青年行動聯盟」（Heartlight Youth Alliance），培育華裔青少年成為具備影響力的心理健康倡導者，支持者，為校園與社區注入希望與改變。
