Oct 16, 2023


The leading firm offers access to African-American Mental Health practitioners through a directory.


Chicago, Illinois Oct 15, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - AFAM Oasis, LLC, a leading advocate for enhancing mental health services access within the African-American community, is honored to announce the African-American Oasis Medical and Mental Health Practitioner Directory. This visionary project aims to overcome the mental health care access trust barrier by providing a comprehensive and accessible directory of African-American mental health practitioners from whom to seek help.

The AFAM Oasis, LLC representative stated, "Our vision for the African-American Oasis Medical and Mental Health Practitioner Directory is to create a lush online compendium of trusted African-American health care providers from a shared beloved community who are ready to serve us."

AFAM Oasis, LLC recognized the pressing need for a centralized platform that connects African-Americans seeking health care with experienced African-American mental health providers. The African-American Oasis Medical and Mental Health Practitioner Directory is designed to address this need effectively, offering many benefits to practitioners and patients.

The directory is a testament to AFAM Oasis, LLC's dedication to promoting African Americans' mental health and well-being by ensuring access to practitioners who embody this community's unique cultural and racial nuances and challenges. This pioneering initiative is a beacon of hope and progress in mental health care for the African-American community who face multiple barriers to seeking mental health care.

The African American Oasis Medical and Mental Health Practitioner Directory boasts an extensive display of directories of African-American mental health practitioners, including those for finding psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, counselors, and social workers.

AFAM Oasis, LLC, through this African-American directory of directories, highlights how it caters to users across the United States, making it easy for African-Americans to find racially similar mental health practitioners within the Black community. This ensures that mental health care is readily accessible to all African Americans seeking care on their own.

The directory prioritizes racial and cultural compatibility by exclusively featuring African-American mental health counselors who deeply understand the unique cultural and social factors that impact the mental health of African-Americans. This ensures that patients receive care that is not only clinically effective but also provided by a more trusted provider.

The user-friendly interface of the directory allows African-American healthcare seekers to search easily and confidently for practitioners by location, specialty, or name, simplifying the process of finding the right mental health professional. This streamlines the search experience by having pre-navigated through the vast sea of misleading "culturally competent" services offered to the African-American community by non African-Americans.

AFAM Oasis, LLC fosters community and support by providing a platform where users can share their experiences, testimonials, and recommendations. This feature enables individuals to connect with others who have benefited from the services of the listed practitioners.

The representative at the AFAM Oasis, LLC added, "We are dedicated to breaking down the trust barriers to mental health care access within the African-American community, and this directory is a significant step in that direction." Their unwavering dedication to this cause is a testament to its commitment to the well-being of the African-American community.

Lee Jun-suk reaches men's teqball final

NAGOYA, Japan — South Korea's Lee Jun-suk reached the final of the men's singles in teqball at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games Saturday, securing at least a silver medal in the sport that made its debut at the continental multisport event. Lee was leading 12-10 and 3-2 against Zaid Eidan of Kuwait in the men's teqball semifinals at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games at Nagoya City Higashi Sports Center in northern Nagoya, Japan, when the opponent retired due to a thigh injury. He will face Ali Jalil Mezher Alelayawi of Iraq in the final slated for Sunday. Lee has been undefeated since the preliminary round. After winning all five matches in the group round, Lee beat Kudaiberdi Abdilazizovich Aidarbekov of Kyrgyzstan 2-0 (12-2, 12-1) in the quarterfinals. In the first set, Lee came back from an early 4-0 deficit. Thanks to his kicks and the opponent's errors, he evened the score and extended the lead to 10-6. Despite losing some points, Lee successfully held off Eidan's rally and closed out the set 12-10. When Lee was leading 3-2 in the second set, Eidan retired from the match. Invented in Hungary

Former K League player Ahn Young-hak makes surprise Asian Games appearance to support NK team

Former member of the North Korean national football team Ahn Young-hak, who also played in the K League, made a rare appearance in Japan to watch and support his former teammates and younger players at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Ahn attended the men's Group B opening match between China and North Korea on Wednesday at Wave Stadium Kariya in Kariya, Aichi Prefecture. Born in 1978 in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, near Hiroshima, Ahn is a third-generation Korean resident of Japan. Ahn, who played for North Korea at international tournaments, made 40 appearances for the national team between 2002 and 2012, scoring three goals. He made his professional debut with J.League club Albirex Niigata in 2002 and later played for Nagoya Grampus. In 2006, he joined K League club Busan I'Park, beginning his football career in South Korea. He spent two years with Suwon Samsung Bluewings from 2008 before returning to the J.League with Omiya Ardija in 2010. Ahn, who met with Xportsnews at halftime, said he has been working as a youth soccer coach since retiring as a player. "I run football classes

'We used to talk like sisters': Ji So-yun reflects on changed ties with NK players

Ji So-yun of Suwon FC Women, who is entering her 20th year as a member of South Korea's national team, expressed regret over the complete lack of communication with North Korean women's national team players, despite the two teams staying at the same hotel. "When I played at my first Asian Games in Doha in 2006, the North Korean players were like older sisters to me because I was the youngest. We became close and talked a lot," 35-year-old Ji said, reflecting on how interaction between players from the two Koreas has been cut off even at international sporting events where they share a common language. Ji made the remarks after South Korea's 6-0 win over Bangladesh in the second Group F match of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games at Nagai Stadium in Osaka on Thursday. "But now, the North Korean players have become much more stiff in their attitude. Even when we greet them first, they don't respond." The change in relations between the two teams has been particularly noticeable at this year's Games, as they are staying at the same hotel. At every meal, Ji can hear North Korean players spea

Asian Games opens with unity message after troubled build-up

NAGOYA, Japan — The 20th Asian Games opened in Japan on Saturday with a message of unity following a troubled build-up to the multi-sport spectacular that has more athletes than the Olympics. There were however a large number of empty seats at the 30,000-capacity stadium in Nagoya, where a subdued crowd saw a colourful opening ceremony with the main stage in the shape of a giant heart. Japan's Emperor and Empress were given a respectful reception as they took their seats, with International Olympic Committee president Kirsty Coventry also in attendance. The first gold medal will be won on Sunday morning, likely in the men's individual triathlon, as the continent's finest athletes compete in more than 40 sports before the curtain comes down on October 4. The event in Nagoya and Aichi prefecture has 2028 Olympics places up for grabs in seven sports and will be graced by global stars and fast-rising prodigies. But it has been dogged by a series of problems in the lead-up. The more than 11,000 athletes and 6,000 officials stretched organisers to the limit as they scrambled to find accommodation for everyone. To save money there is no traditional athletes' village, competitors instead staying in a combination of temporary container-style huts, hotels and cruise ship the Costa Serena. There was a record deluge last week which flooded parts of Nagoya and now a typhoon is approaching eastern Japan threatening further disruption in the coming days. Some athletes were left stranded at the airport when transport failed to turn up and several teams have complained about the quality of the huts, including the beds being too short. In the latest mishap, North Korea's national anthem was played on Friday for South Korea's men's hockey team. - Cheers, empty seats - Two-time Asian Games silver medallist Zahra Kiani was a flag-bearer for Iran and hopes to win another medal in the Chinese martial art of wushu -- by watching how it's done on YouTube. "I have been training with movies. I watch videos of Chinese athletes and I try to copy them," she said. The Olympic Council of Asia said the continent's premier sporting event, featuring 45 countries and territories, came at a vital moment. "The opening ceremony message is to show and demonstrate the unity of Asia against the conflicts around Asia (and) the political conflicts of the Middle East," OCA president Sheikh Joaan bin Hamad Al-Thani said before the show swung into action. There was no mistaking, however, the rows of empty seats, despite organisers saying all tickets had been taken. Apart from Japan's athletes, the biggest cheer was reserved for China's competitors as they filed into the arena. China will again expect to top the medals table after winning a whopping 201 golds and 383 medals on home soil in Hangzhou at the Covid-delayed Games in 2023. - Prodigies in spotlight - Basketball, football and cricket are among the sports already under way. As always at the Asian Games -- which started in 1951 -- Olympic staples such as athletics and swimming will sit side-by-side with regional favourites like sepak takraw and kabaddi. There will be eSports, breakdancing and BMX cycling. Padel and MMA will make their Asian Games debuts. Among those competing will be Philippine tennis sensation Alexandra Eala and a pair of prodigies in 15-year-old Indian cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and 13-year-old Chinese swimmer Yu Zidi. Taiwan boxer Lin Yu-ting will also be competing, two years after she won Paris Olympics gold in the middle of a major gender row that saw her eligibility questioned. North Korea will have more than 100 athletes competing across 14 sports, aiming to "bring joy to Marshal Kim Jong Un". Sooryavanshi will be part of an India cricket team looking to make a statement before the sport returns to the Olympics in Los Angeles after an absence of 128 years. India could face bitter rivals Pakistan in the final at Nagoya's new purpose-built cricket ground -- if rain does not intervene. AFP
