Silent War on AAPI Youth Mental Health

Silent War on AAPI Youth Mental Health Hosted by APIC in partnership with UCA-WAVES

Asian American and Pacific Islanders experience some of the highest rates of mental distress, yet remain among the least likely to seek help. Stigma, cultural taboo, the perpetual foreigner complex, and the model minority myth are just some of the barriers standing in the way.

Join Dr. Lily Chen, Founder & Executive Director of UCA-WAVES and executive producer of the documentary Silent War: Asian American Reckonings with Mental Health, for an honest conversation about systemic barriers to AAPI mental health. Learn how Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training can reduce stigma and empower communities to act as "mental health guardians" for young people.
