The Southeast Asian (SEA) population in
Fresno County is the second highest of any
metropolitan area in the U.S. with Hmong
being the largest segment. Many of these
new Americans and refugees struggle with
complex mental health issues, and are chronically underserved. Therefore, FCNA has
implemented the Living Well Program to respond to the diverse mental health needs of
the SEA community.
