Happy #AAPIHeritageMonth & #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth!

Have you registered for Sunday's #TransformASIAN conference yet? Don't miss out on our Community Panel! Although many Asian American / Asian diaspora communities carry generations of trauma, our stories are seldom shared. In this panel, we will highlight those narratives and begin breaking down the barriers that prevent us from having open conversation between generations. Register at our link in bio!

We are so honoured to have @cathyparkhong (Cathy Park Hong) and @jbrekkie (Michelle Zauner) join #TransformASIAN2022 for our Fireside Chat. Moderated by our Board Chair & President @yourchangeprovider (Jeanie Chang), the fireside chat will highlight themes from the three conference pillars of self, community and society. As their share wisdom from their work and experiences, they will discuss what's next for us as a community. Join us on May 1, 2022 virtually! Learn more & register at the link in bio.

Come hear the Society Panel speak on May 1 at our virtual conference #transformasian2022! Far too often, the Asian American and Pacific Islander diaspora is seen as a monolith that is doing “well” across measures of “success” – our challenges are diminished. This panel will feature panelists discussing the pressures of existing and persevering in a Eurocentric society, while trying to create space for our communities. Learn more and register at the link in bio!

🌱 Introducing our panelists for our SELF Panel at #TransformASIAN2022! Understanding what it means to develop a positive self identity as an Asian American and Pacific Islander is a complex process. In the Self Panel, panelists will share their experiences in overcoming internalized stigma and reconnecting with their culture unapologetically for themselves and others. Learn more about our panelists, the conference, and how to register at our link in bio!

🌿🌻✨ REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! 🌿🌻✨ Our 2022 conference theme, "Breaking the Cycle", speaks to our commitment to destigmatize mental health issues important to Asian communities.

🌱✨SAVE THE DATE! ✨🌱 We will be hosting our 2nd annual virtual conference #TransformASIAN on May 1, 2022 - the first day of #AsianHeritageMonth & #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth!

Our newest FREE Community Support Group led by an Asian Mental Health Professional is now open for registration! Led by LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) Annie Bao, this group aims to create a space for members of the Asian community to seek and embrace the worthiness of their voices, through healing, to disrupt the norms of silence, fear, and racism. This group begins on March 24, 2022 at 12 PM to 1:30 PM CST; and goes until May 12, 2022. Register using the QR code or the link in bio.

We invite our community to join us in solidarity and remember the victims, survivors, and family members of the tragic Atlanta Spa Shootings that occurred a year ago today on March 16, 2021. Over the past year, we’ve witnessed our community come together, bound by grief and trauma, as we committed to providing ways to help each other build resilience and heal. On this anniversary, we remember the lives taken and their loved ones. We are deeply committed to promoting conversations, providing safe spaces for our community, and offering mental health resources that are easily available, approachable, and accessible to Asian communities worldwide. #RememberingMarch16

After a long week of navigating our daily lives - WAVES is back! We invite you to take a mental break and join us at FriYAY!
