[Elevating Voices for Long-Lasting Change]([link removed])
Please join us for the latest in our Elevating Voices for Long-Lasting Change town hall series, “Mental Health in Asian American and Pacific Islander Families: Reconciling Culture and Identity,” at 3pm ET, January 25 on facebook.com/afspnational and youtube.com/afspnational.
AFSP’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Christine Yu Moutier, will moderate a discussion with three leading experts on mental health in AAPI communities. The conversation will consider:
- the role culture plays in how Asian American/ Pacific Islander families interact with aspects of mental health
- how different generations may have different understandings of mental health and comfort levels in talking about it
- strategies for opening productive dialogues around difficult feelings and experiences
- how parents can support children and teens in managing their mental health, and encourage help-seeking
- the role communities can play in encouraging positive and productive support systems
Dr. Yu-Moutier will be joined by panelists:
Dr. Howard Liu, Chair, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Department of Psychiatry; social media innovator and leader in Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) inclusion in healthcare leadership
Dr. Jenny Wang, author of Permission to Come Home: Reclaiming Mental Health as Asian Americans, clinical psychologist and expert on the intersections of Asian American identity, mental health, and racial trauma
Dr. Becky Wong, Clinical and Scientific Director, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development and Commercialization, Inc. and founder of the Otsuka Employee Resource Group, InspirASIAN
We hope you’ll join us for this important and thought-provoking discussion.
