New York Coalition for Asian American Mental Health Inc

The New York Coalition for Asian American Mental Health has historically helped pioneer community wellness, advocated to improve health services, and increased the visibility of underserved Asian American communities. We are calling for Asian American mental health professionals to join together and continue building upon this legacy.
Throughout the past year, racism, xenophobia, and other forms of oppression caused an increase in acts of violence and hate targeting Asian Americans. This collective trauma came alongside the devastating impact of the pandemic which worsened many long-standing issues in society. Along with the extensive increase in mental health needs came the additional urgency to support community wellness.

Many have been thinking about the question, “What can I do?” Asian American mental health professionals have a unique role to play in our various communities. Whether that is through advocacy, community service, professional development, or collaboration with other organizations, we are actively planning and organizing ways to promote the mental health of Asian American communities throughout the NYC area and beyond.
