Centro Multicultural La Familia (CMLF) or Multicultural Family Center is a private, not-for-profit, mission-driven organization that provides comprehensive services to a diverse community. While most of the clients we serve now are from Hispanic descent, we strive to offer services to a broader cultural community.
We are proud to be able to offer culturally and linguistically competent services in the areas of mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, Early Head Start/Healthy Start, Integrated Care or Medical Home in partnership with St. Joseph hospital, support and interpretation for pregnant women through our Clinica Santa Teresa program, and employment support services.
We are engaged in several collaborations where we are able to participate in research projects. We have partnered with the Julian Samora Research Institute and Michigan Nutrition Network to work in childhood obesity and nutrition and with the University of Michigan-School of Nursing to work on incontinence during pregnancy issues. We believe that it is important for the Hispanic population to participate in projects like these in order to increase our knowledge of evidence-based practices with this population.
