February
Central Texas African American Family Support Conference (CTAAFSC)
The CTAAFSC is hosted and sponsored by the ATCIC, New Milestones Foundation and other community partners. The CTAAFSC is a free, yearly public event that works to strengthen family and individual awareness of available health care services, behavioral and physical, through culturally sensitive education, supports, and partnerships. It strives to increase individual and family awareness of available behavioral and physical healthcare services, reduce stigma, and eliminate health disparities. The CTAAFSC is planned and organized by a volunteer Planning Committee that meets every other month on the third Wednesday at the ATCIC Administration Building (1430 Collier St.). Volunteer to be a part of the Planning Committee or work on the day of the event. To learn more, go to ctaafsc.org or email info@ctaafsc.org.
