HistoryAfter the fall of Saigon, Colorado experienced an influx of Southeast Asian immigrants and refugees. Those who sought refuge in Colorado faced challenges in overcoming mental health conditions with major language and cultural barriers. In 1980, a group of community leaders recognized these unmet needs and mobilized Colorado's Asian-American community to create the Asian Pacific Development Center. 35 years later, we continue to be the sole leader in advancing the well-being of Asian communities by providing a fully integrated system of care which includes medical and behavioral health services, adult education, youth programming, victim assistance, an interpreter's bank and legal clinic.SpecialtiesInterpreting and translation
