African American Health Program

African American Health Program AAHP focuses on ending health disparities that impact Blacks/African Americans in Montgomery County. A separate workgroup supports diabetes-related activities.

AAHP is a program of the Montgomery County Government (MD) Health and Human Services. The AAHP strategy is to bring together community partners and resources in a collaborative and effective manner to support AAHP goals. AAHP focuses on six major health areas: infant mortality, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, oral health, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Services provided include outreach, health education

, support groups, and nurse case management. The program is staffed by registered nurses, health educators, and community outreach personnel. AAHP operates in conjunction with a volunteer executive committee that provides strategic planning and advocates for increased funding. In addition to the committee, there are two community-based coalitions focused on infant mortality and HIV/AIDS. The coalitions work with AAHP personnel to provide guidance in their respective areas of focus.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the need is real. Black adults are 36% less likely to receive mental health care than the general population. Stigma, cost, and lack of culturally competent providers are just some of the barriers keeping our community from the support we deserve. AAHP is committed to changing that through education, resources, and programs designed with our community in mind.

Taking care of your mental health starts with knowing where you stand. AAHP's free mental health screening tool is private, anonymous, and judgment-free. Taking this free screening can connect you to the support and resources you need. You don't have to figure it out alone.

Take the screening here: aahpmoco.org/mhscreen
