Table Talk YouTube Series: Mental Health and Stigma in the Asian American Pacific Islander Community
This is a gathering of clinicians and community members with lived experiences discussing their perspectives and experiences on mental health, trauma, and racial tensions in the Asian American Pacific Islander community. This prerecorded table talk will be an intimate conversation where each member shares their perspectives on life as we address myths and stereotypes in the AAPI community around mental health. ERC and Pathlight are proud to partner with OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates and Nancy Xiong, a community advocate and organizer in the Hmong community, to bring you this series.
