He won the making a difference category of the Positive Practice awards, organised by the National Institute for Mental Health for England, last Thursday.
Aboo, who lives in Batley, set up a number of groups including the Asian men's group, which uses activities like football to build confidence and wellbeing.
He said: "I have seen a lot of people with mental health problems not accessing the right support because there's a stigma about it in the south Asian community.
One of the ways to break that down was to go into the community and talk about it.
"In the south Asian language there is no word for schizophrenia or depression. People just talk about their physical symptoms.
"A lot of the time people think it is something to do with black magic – that somebody has put a spell on them. I have tried to break these barriers down.
"Mental health problems are illnesses and I have tried to put that across."
Aboo has worked in the NHS for eight years. As part of his award, Aboo will receive £2,000 to spend on his service.
He said: "I'm delighted to win this award, and although it's an individual award I think it's been a team effort.
"I've received help and support from many people such as managers, colleagues, people who use services and the local community."
