    Haitian-Americans United, Inc. (HAU) 2019

    2 H.A.U. CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Haitian Heritage Month has always been a memorable period when we, Haitians and Haitian Americans remember our rich history that has been forgotten by many. It is a time when we are afforded the opportunity to reflect on our many contributions and accomplishments which have been overlooked historically and taken for granted. I would like to start by expressing my hope that this is the time to celebrate our resiliency, our pursuit for social justice and equality, in a land on which our Haitian soldiers fought at the battle of Savannah in 1779 during the American Revolutionary war. During this war they were considered the most efficient allied group, boldly fighting the British to help America gain its ter- ritorial sovereignty. As we celebrate today the 216th anniversary since the cre- ation of our flag and the 215th anniversary of our independence we, the Haitian diaspora, are observing a new cataclysm impacting our nation that we cannot ignore, to the point that it is offending the greatness of our flag. Considering the current reality of our original land, as we are celebrating the Haitian Flag Day, how many of us have not stopped even once to look at the flag in this impressive parade and acknowledge our faltering confidence, as we haven’t in previous years? Despite the internal and external upheavals created by the current socio politico economic environment, in the face of adversity, all of us Haitian-Americans must remain united, exploring new ways to positively in- fluence our brothers and sisters residing in the United States as well as our homeland.

    Center for Multicultural & Global Mental Health CMGMH CONNECTION MAY, 2018 A Work in Progress: Department of Mental Health’s Outreach to Communities of Color The discrimination experienced by people of color with mental health challenges is multi-layered and interwoven due to racism and stigma associated with mental illness. This double stigma results in a lack of sustained focus on providing quality care to these marginalized communities. For example, a one-size-fits-all approach is augmented with interpreter services for clients whose primary language is not English, but the services provided do not take into account the client’s culture. Given this history, the responsibility is on the health care provider to reach out to In This Issue communities of color and demonstrate that it is worthy of the Department of Mental Health’s Outreach to communities’ trust.
