East African Healing Services (EAHS) is a small, non-profit organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, dedicated to providing culturally competent mental health services. Founded in 2012, EAHS employs three individuals and generates annual revenue of over $10,000. EAHS specializes in rehabilitative services and support for refugees and immigrants from East Africa who struggle with trauma-related mental health issues. The organization's mission is to empower these individuals to overcome their past experiences and achieve independence and self-sufficiency. Their services include instruction and support in essential living skills, such as communication, resource utilization, crisis assistance, relapse prevention, budgeting, healthy lifestyle practices, transportation, medication management, and employment skills. EAHS also offers community intervention strategies to facilitate integration into the community and reduce the risk of hospitalization. A key differentiator for EAHS is its commitment to cultural sensitivity. The organization recognizes the importance of respecting the cultural, religious, and linguistic backgrounds of its clients. EAHS is certified as an Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) provider by the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
