An estimated 12,000 Afghans reside in Fremont and the San Francisco- Bay Area where they experience higher than average rates of isolation, poverty, chronic health, and mental health conditions, particularly PTSD. Afghans living in the U.S experience multiple barriers to services, including language and cultural barriers, low literacy rates, few economic resources and lack of familiarity of medical and social services systems.

Introduction AEA’s TDS (Health Promotion) Program has four components •The Happy, Healthy Me Program: utilizes The Flinders Program© and Partners –in-Health assessment. Health promoters (HP) and participants collaboratively identify and prioritize health goals used in the development of a personalized wellness plan. •Linkages: HPs assist participants to accessing health, social service, housing and other community resources. •Medication Management: HPs and nursing students provide medication review and education, falls awareness and home safety education. •Community Health Education: TDS offers Matter of Balance and Tai Chi for Falls Prevention and the Stanford Chronic Disease Self- Management Program programs in Dari.

The programs incorporate an array of culturally-informed services ranging from socialization to chronic condition self- management and peer care management and implemented by trained peers from within the culture. Both programs developed in partnership with COF provide a model that could be replicated and implemented in other ethnically diverse communities. Future directions Challenges remain including program funding, ongoing need for HP training, development of electronic records, culture-specific adaptation of evidence-based programs and program expansion to other ethnic communities.. However, both AEA and COF are committed to inclusion and improving the quality of life for all older adult residents.
