Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article discusses the history of a local Arab-American
community center in Dearborn, Michigan, called the Arab Community Center for Economic and
Social Services (ACCEss). The 200,000 Arab Americans in the Detroit area make it the
largest concentration of people of Arab origin outside of the Arab world. ACCEss was a
grassroots organization formed in 1971 to assist Arab immigrant families with their needs
and problems associated with acculturation. The center has grown from assisting 125 familes
with daily problems and English instruction in it's first year, to serving 62, 415 people
through 42 programs in 1993-1994. The mental-health component of the center has pioneered a
multi-service, bilingual, and cultural approach to mental health care. The study discusses
some of the major cases, which include maritaland parental problems.
