Asian Pacific Islander Coalition Advocating Together for Health

Community-based health education, leadership development, advocacy, and policy change are central to this coalition's work. It supports Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities through culturally and linguistically relevant training and education, community assessments, and collaborative relationships among residents, organizations, clinics, and public health agencies. Programs address tobacco, e-cigarettes, vaping, cannabis, and other health issues. Resources include youth-created answers about cannabis, a safe-storage campaign, a podcast about substance use in multigenerational communities, and digital storytelling about tobacco and health. The coalition also shares cessation resources and health information. Its work serves communities in Seattle and beyond.
