What health care looks like for people of African ancestry must be redefined using language, beliefs, and principles steeped in African-centered cultural knowledge, in the ultimate interest of people of African ancestry. This training guide explores the ways in which developing an African-centered approach to behavioral health, in all areas of this field, can best serve people of African ancestry, while honoring their experience, dignity, and humanity. This project was led by the Office of Equity and Workforce Development (OEWD) under the San Francisco Health Network’s Behavioral Health Services Department through the support of the Department of Public Health and the City and County of San Francisco, and in partnership with Jason Seals & Associates.

The sessions provided people personally impacted by mental illness, racism/anti-blackness, and/or the intersection of these two experiences with the opportunity to express their perspectives and opinions. The secondary goal was to hear from the broader community on issues surrounding public safety and the wellbeing of all residents. JSA collected and analyzed the insights shared during these listening sessions and via a community questionnaire; These findings were complied in a report and presented to the public and City Council during a Special City Council Meeting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1592331560772-5TNNDOU82MZ2ZWKFQUUQ/YouTube+Title+Slide.png Resources & Perspectives - “A Moment of Truth” is a multi-channel platform created to explore issues, topics, and ideas that impact people of African ancestry. https://jsassociates.org/home daily 1.0 2020-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583804368222-VFCK6Y8ASBB3YPU5FCRH/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583392209594-6VVFAYL5ZBDECUQG2Y7N/gift-habeshaw-44XRowmXF24-unsplash%252B%2525282%252529.jpg Home - Transforming & Sustaining Family & Community Spaces https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1592272838211-TTT3A4F5B3SBRQSBBRCN/20191213_123158.jpg Home - Facilitating Transformational Learning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583392319479-6J8D24V69TNVCOJ4HH5Y/Holistic.jpg Home - Fostering Holistic Development https://jsassociates.org/our-approach daily 0.75 2020-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583463031066-3BXCO27163R6RXQIWV1I/Approach.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583463591660-QS2XPXG4LUL5CYJBWC6V/Foundational%2BFramework.jpg Our Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583476906197-RA49K89IU38KMPGMYGLG/spirit%2Bcentered.jpg Our Approach - Spirit-Centered Centering the importance of and focusing on developing and nurturing one’s spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583476872524-MZO4UUVO8GBJDCVTRGSL/jeremy-bishop-EwKXn5CapA4-unsplash.jpg Our Approach - Worldview Cultivating a worldview reflective of the extended self, spirit, nature, and community; emphasizing “we-ness” and inter-connectedness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1584052917938-R965H8I0M23OI7UNZIKV/IMG_5286.jpg Our Approach - Culturally-Grounded Consciousness Developing knowledge of self, learning and internalizing one’s historical culture and experience https://jsassociates.org/our-services daily 0.75 2020-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583479484124-JX8FWWY2DCA3UKK6374T/gift-habeshaw-44XRowmXF24-unsplash%252B%2525282%252529.jpg Our Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1592273016860-F9CM057ALBUL1Z8YBQQC/20191213_123158.jpg Our Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/1583479669841-KJ6PHLFGC109CJTLO2RH/Holistic.jpg Our Services https://jsassociates.org/our-team daily 0.75 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5ee5e59807b7038977b283/91ad138c-0be5-4b2a-9271-5d94676b9582/JS+Website.jpg Our Team - Jason Seals, Founder & CEO Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
