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.

We aim to involve

This means direct participation by everyday people, sharing their views and experiences.

We aim to connect

It means bringing people together to share knowledge, tools, personal stories, and encouragement with each other.

We aim to represent

While we are rooted in serving Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities, we know that the well-being of one community is bound up with the well-being across diverse communities, so we work with people from all backgrounds.
