Asheville-Buncombe Institute for Parity Achievement

What We Do

2022 Progress on CHIP

Asheville-Buncombe Institute for Parity Achievement (ABIPA) has plans to implement a youth mental health program in a predominantly BIPOC housing development. The program will focus on youth outreach and education based on the Mental Health First Aid model and other evidence-based resiliency interventions. With recent program funding, the youth mental health program will be able to expand their ability to reach local BIPOC youth and build opportunities for authentic connection and community building. This pilot program is set to begin in early March and will run through the end of June 2023. The desired long-term outcome is for the program to continue once enhanced funding is secured.
