Since 1988, the National Asian Pacific American Families Against Substance Abuse (NAPAFASA) has served and worked with Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities on initiatives and projects addressing behavioral health in our communities. As of 2024, we updated our name to the National Asian Pacific American Families Allied for Substance Awareness and Harm Reduction, keeping our long-time acronym NAPAFASA.
