WHAT About Us
REASON FOR REFERRAL:
The AFAM Oasis LLC Directory serves the unique function of providing a single source site that identifies diverse search directories of African-American medical and mental health practitioners qualified as Psychologists, Physicians, Clinical Social Workers, and Professional Counselors suiting consumers preferences for them.
PROBLEM PRESENTATION:
We tend to seek help in low numbers, and when we eventually do make the wise healthy decision to seek it for the benefit of self and/or loved ones, many have distrust or perceive racial/cultural barriers would hinder the quality of care received and thus would prefer an African-American practitioner. We then find that there is a paucity of African-American medical and mental health professionals represented across all medical and mental health disciplines. In searching the internet, African-American help seekers are met with the overwhelming representation of medical and mental health professionals who are not African-American. In fact, many of the sites that generate from searches of “Black therapists” are actually non-African-American companies who may not have African-American therapists at all but advertise having the availability of “culturally sensitive” therapists. We are often misled by these and may give up the search.
RECOMMENDATION:
