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.

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!

In light of recent weather events and our commitment to ensuring the safety and comfort of our cherished community, we made some adjustments to our original September picnic. We are thrilled to announce that our beloved gathering has now been rescheduled and will take on an exciting new form.

📅 Save the Date: [November 4th, 2pm-4pm ET. Location: John Jay College]

We can't wait to see you there, discussing the future of NYCAAMH, sharing delicious food, and creating lasting memories.

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!

NYCAAMH’s Open Mic Night inspired an APAHM celebration and continuing education opportunity!

Several NYCAAMH artists and members–Keith Mar, Maureen P. Medina, Robin Mele, Daniel Tanh, and Linda Thai–will be taking the stage once again alongside others to participate in a continuing education event entitled “Expanding the Narrative: Healing During Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and Beyond” with the Community Technical Assistant Center at the NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research.

The Asian diaspora living in the United States is multicultural, multigenerational, and multidimensional, but whitewashing often ignores these multiplicities. Providing care and support often benefits from an increased understanding of trauma and racism within social and historical contexts. Moderated by NYCAAMH and CTAC’s Daniel Tanh, LCSW, this innovative “performance and panel” presentation will highlight important concepts to consider when connecting with such a diverse population. Six panelists will engage attendees in both a learning opportunity and an experience that looks at their healing journeys through acts of creative self-expression.
 
By the end of the webinar, learners will be able to:

• Recognize manifestations of racism that have impacted the mental health and well-being of the diverse Asian/Pacific Islander American population.

• Describe examples of intergenerational and historical trauma that affect various Asian diaspora communities.

• Demonstrate an enhanced understanding of the role of the mental health system in healing and ways to do this both within and outside of it.

Watch this short video to find out more. Sign up for McSilver’s registration system and register for the event here.
