The African Caribbean Community Initiative (ACCI) aims to provide a culturally safe service that will meet the needs of the African and Caribbean community and their families affected by mental health issues. The organization provides services that play a key role in supporting the national mental health agenda by improving the standard of service provision and reducing inequalities and hospital re-admittance among African Caribbean members.
ACCI provides unique cultural services to develop a better quality of life for its members through the Wellbeing Hub, Day Centre, Outreach Support, Supported Housing, Housing Advice and Counseling & Therapeutic Services.
