South Asian Mental Health Initiative and Network – SAMHIN is a nonprofit organization founded in 2014 to support the mental health and wellness needs of the South Asian community in the United States. Over 6.1 million people in the U.S. trace their heritage to South Asia (2020 U.S. Census). Many individuals and families continue to face stigma and barriers around mental health care. SAMHIN works to reduce stigma, increase awareness, build mental health literacy, and create pathways for support through education, community outreach, mental health resources, support groups, and improved access to culturally relevant care.
