“With a disproportionately high rate of suicide reported for Asian-American & Pacific Islander identified youth and adults, there is a call to examine factors that potentially contribute to the emotional and mental health of individuals. This course examines the unique experience of AAPI communities, with a broad focus on the social, cultural, religious and historical implications of the AAPI identity and racial oppression. Through multimedia, small & large group discussion, participants will gain knowledge and skills to better equip them to be culturally responsive to AAPI youth who are grappling with mental health issues.”
