About Afia Health MN

Our Mission

At Afia Health MN, our mission is to be a place where families feel secure, respected, and supported as they navigate the challenges of autism and behavioral health care. We recognize the emotional and practical struggles many families face when seeking appropriate services for their loved ones — from long waitlists and stigma to lack of culturally responsive care. That’s why we are committed to creating meaningful, lasting change through personalized, evidence-based interventions tailored to each child’s unique needs. We aim to not only address challenges but to build a foundation for growth, empowerment, and lifelong learning. By fostering a safe, collaborative environment, we help families feel confident that their child is seen, supported, and capable of reaching their full potential.

Our Vision

Our vision is to build a future where every child in Minnesota — regardless of background or ability — can thrive in a supportive, understanding, and inclusive community. We strive to break down systemic barriers in access to care and reimagine what family-centered support can look like through an equity-driven, whole-child approach. We believe that every family deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and connected. Through innovation, cultural responsiveness, and a dedication to long-term growth, Afia Health MN seeks to transform not just individual outcomes, but entire communities. Our vision is rooted in the belief that true progress happens when families are equipped with the tools they need, professionals are unified in purpose, and communities come together to nurture the full potential of every child.

We understand that every family is unique. That’s why our team is trained in cultural responsiveness, language access, and trauma-informed care. We actively work to create a safe, affirming environment where families of all races, religions, cultures, and identities feel respected and supported. We treat every individual with dignity, compassion, and understanding — because we believe that everyone, regardless of background or ability, deserves access to care without judgment or prejudice.

Our commitment to diversity means we don’t just acknowledge differences — we celebrate them. We recognize the value in every voice, the richness in every story, and the importance of building a team and a community that reflects the people we serve. At Afia Health MN, we strive to ensure that no one ever feels like an outsider. Everyone is welcome, everyone is equal, and everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive. We uphold these values by embedding equity and inclusion into every aspect of our services, partnerships, and organizational culture.”
