Community Trauma and Wellbeing (Session 1): Lived Experiences & Peer Support

New York contains the highest portion of total Asian Americans and Asian population of any U.S. city, with over 16% to 17% of its population since 2020. A significant proportion of the AA population is first- and second-generation immigrants, who have suffered various types of traumas before and after migration. The COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of recent anti-immigrant rhetoric also pose greater mental health challenges against the Asian American and Asian communities. However, mental health needs among AAAIs have been under-reported and under-treated due to assessment biases, cultural stigma, and a lack of culturally responsive services and systems of care. The main objective for this workshop is to discuss community needs, obstacles, and innovative approaches of providing trauma-informed and culturally responsive mental health care for Asian American and Asian children and families in the New York metropolitan area, by gathering mental health service providers, researchers, community-based organizations, policy makers and community members.
