Families in Good health (FIGH) is a multilingual, multicultural health and social education program for the Southeast Asian, Latino, and other communities in Long Beach.  FIGH's mission is to help the community make informed choices and to access needed health and social resources. Some of the programs are:

  • EM3/LS Programs: Educated Men with Meaningful Messages (EM3) works to reduce teenage pregnancy by involving young Southeast Asian, men in health education, training, outreach, and advocacy among their peers and community.  Little Sisters (LS) is a mentoring program providing education and support to young women who are pregnant or parenting.
  • SEACHIP:  The Southeast Asian Children's Immunization Project (SEACHIP) aims to increase the number of fully immunized Southeast Asian children.
