NYCAAMH x ASSG Membership Meeting – Hope, Community & Action
New York Coalition for Asian American Mental Health (NYCAAMH) and Asian Student Support Group (ASSG) at NYU Silver are coming together to host a joint membership meeting focused on hope, community, and action as we consider the mission to advance the mental health and community wellness of Asian American communities using an anti-oppressive lens. Through interactive activities, we will share insights and connect with one another to foster resilience, take collective action, and build stronger, more supportive communities.
We will begin with a student & professionals mixer at 5:30pm and transition to our community-building membership activities at 6pm. Refreshments will be provided.

‘Chia Sẻ’ Community Zine Lab
We’re excited to share a new offering from NYCAAMH Executive Member, Hân Nguyễn, LMSW. She will be facilitating a monthly lab as part of the Asian American Justice + Innovative Lab community leadership development program. Join us on a community zine lab project on 3rd Thursdays of each month starting February 15th from 9pm-10:30pm EST / 6pm-7:30pm PST.
Embark on a creative journey with our 'Chia Sẻ' Community Zine Lab, exploring Asian diaspora stories through food. 'Chia Sẻ,' meaning 'sharing' in Vietnamese, embodies our commitment to reflecting on experiences around food, connecting with ancestral roots, and exploring the emotions of grief, displacement, and joy within our Asian diaspora. Join us as we draw inspiration from the history of zine-making in Asian American activism. In each session, engage in a vibrant mix of storytelling, reflection, and creative expression - a powerful way to process the complexities of our shared experiences. Let’s weave our collective narrative into a community zine, 'Chia Sẻ,' that shares the diverse and resonant stories of the Asian diaspora.
This is an open lab to the community starting February and ends in June. Folks are welcome to join any of the 5-part sessions. We welcome anyone who identifies as part of the Asian Diaspora. Please register below.

NYCAAMH Theater Night!
For those of us who have been to Chinatown in Manhattan, we have undoubtedly seen "Private Danny Chen Way" as part of Elizabeth Street between Canal and Bayard. Danny Chen is a part of history in NYC, and it is important for those of us in the Asian American mental health community to know his story.
NYCAAMH is grateful to PAC NYC for offering us a limited number of free tickets with pre-arranged seating for all of us to sit as a group to watch An American Soldier.
Please click here to find out more and register by 12pm Thursday, 5/16/24, if you are interested in claiming some of those free tickets and joining us at 6pm on Saturday, May 18th, for our first ever NYCAAMH Theater Night! Once all the reserved tickets have been claimed, we will update this form and inform those who registered about their ticket status. We encourage you to purchase tickets on your own and watch the show even if you are unable to obtain a complimentary ticket from us.
For those in the AAPI community, use code "PACAAPI" to save 10% on tickets at link.pacnyc.org/PACAAPI all week long.
We will meet for a meal at 6pm before we head over to the Perelman Performing Arts Center to watch the show together at 8pm. The show should last for about two hours and be followed by a post-show discussion in which "Members of the cast and creative team of An American Soldier discuss the inspiration, themes, and creative process behind this powerful new opera."

Decolonizing Mental Health for AAPI Youth & Families Symposium
We are thrilled to announce NYCAAMH’s sponsorship of the upcoming event, "Decolonizing Mental Health for AAPI Youth & Families."
NYCAAMH member Han Nguyen will be facilitating a clinical panel on Decolonized MH with AAPI Clinicians (and NYCAAMH members): Daniel Tanh, Robin Mele, Biba Fullon, and Tristan Vizconde. CEU’s are offered for the virtual morning session of the symposium.
In a time where Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are reflecting on the lasting impact of the COVID pandemic in NYC, this symposium seeks to address the unique challenges faced by the AAPI community in navigating the mental healthcare system.
Organized by passionate advocates, this event will boldly tackle pressing questions about how to reimagine wellness outside of Western biomedicine and confront the systemic constraints that persist in our current mental healthcare system. By celebrating cultural, familial, and community practices as sources of strength while challenging dominant paradigms, this symposium aims to offer a space to collectively grieve our losses, rejuvenate our spirits, and explore innovative paths to wellness. We invite all participants to join us in this crucial conversation as we work together to create a world where systems of care truly serve all communities.
📅 Save the Date: [November 2nd, 9am-7pm ET virtually and @ NYU Medical Science Building] and check out the website to register for this free transformative event!
