Maitri is a free, confidential, nonprofit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area that primarily helps families and individuals from South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives) facing domestic violence, emotional abuse, cultural alienation, or family conflict.

Our mission is to provide mental health services and treatment to individuals suffering from different mental health symptoms such as depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD and all other mental health diagnosis.

Provides ESL, home-based tutoring, immigration services, social services, interpretation services, employment assistance services.
