Affinity Groups

The ILAACP Affinity Groups are comprised of prevention and early intervention practitioners, advocates, researchers and policymakers who share an interest and experience in a health or social disparity negatively impacting Illinois African American community. The Affinity Group serves as a learning circle affording members an opportunity to exchange ideas, best practices, policies, and other resources with a collective goal of strengthening prevention and early intervention systems and services.  Affinity Groups also provide participants with a venue for networking with peers and employers in their field. Affinity Groups meet on a quarterly basis. Affinity Groups are currently organized around HIV AIDS, mental health, substance abuse, adolescent health & development, early childhood education, maternal child health, preventable disease, juvenile justice, and violence prevention.

Established in 2005, the Illinois African American Coalition for Prevention (ILAACP) is committed to the development of culturally competent programs, policies and plans for African Americans by ensuring prevention, intervention and educational resources are available throughout the state of Illinois.
