African Diaspora is the term that is used to refer to the mass dispersion of peoples from Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trades that occurred from the 1500s to the 1800s. The African Diaspora refers to the communities all over the world who are descended from this historic movement of peoples from Africa to the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, Middle East, and Asia among other areas across the globe.
ADMHA provides behavioral and mental health services which address the unique, culturally-specific stressors which affect African-American and others of the African Diaspora.
The founders of ADMHA culturally identify with the African Diaspora and recognize that there is an unconscious presence of mental health issues within The African Diaspora which manifests itself through maladaptive behaviors like substance abuse, gun violence, incarcerations, homelessness, and unemployment.

Report
Clinicians and staff are not trained in gender-affirming care yet. I was misgendered by at least one receptionist as well as a clinician. I also specified that I needed a therapist that was trained to work with adult CSA survivors; even if this therapist is amazing this felt misleading. Director of clinic said he would call me back with referrals within two days and did not do so. Before the incident with misgendering I could call this clinic and almost always someone would answer; now when I call it suspiciously goes to voice mail, which suggests they are screening my call.
