Mental health is stigmatized in the Asian American Pacific Islander community.
With the pandemic and asian hate crimes, it is important to increase mental health awareness to improve overall wellness and community. Therapy, psychotherapy, or counseling can make a huge difference in how people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loss, or major life changes.
In the Asian American Pacific Islander community, there appears to be a sense of guilt, shame and obligation to the family and community. Trying to be successful and have high achievements is a struggle. The stress and motivation of being successful has its pros and cons. There is a sense of direction and wanting to achieve goals.
