About African Canadian Development & Prevention Network (ACDPN)

We believe that a strong, effective, and coordinated Black community-based response can better protect Black children, support families, and strengthen communities. Our vision is to be a resource to members of the Black community in the Greater Montreal Area through the development of a network of organizations, experts, and community members advocating for the healthy development and vitality of the Black community. The African Canadian Development and Prevention Network (ACDPN) was founded in 2005 to provide leadership on topics of access to Health and Social services for members of the English-speaking Black community (ESBC) in Montreal. ACDPN fosters solidarity and inter-organizational collaboration across sectors that influence the health and wellness of the Black community. We aim to promote best practice prevention and social development strategies as we advocate for access to social, educational, and economic programs that are adapted culturally and linguistically to meet the needs of the members of our community. Our Mission: 1. Develop a network of organizations that can contribute to a thriving Black community; 2. Facilitate organizational capacity building, joint planning and resource development; 3. Promote healthy approaches and best practice prevention models; 4. Advocate for improved access to services for the Black community that are adapted both culturally and linguistically; 5. Promote and support the Strengthening of Black Families
