Covid-19 & Asian/Pacific Islander Communities
All over the world from, San Diego
Cost: Free
This Community Conversation, hosted by Jewish Family Service of San Diego, will go over the cultural values, common misconceptions and lack of resources in Asian/Pacific Islander (API) communities that often prevent individuals facing mental health challenges from seeking support. With an increase in hate crimes against API communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, existing mental health challenges can be exacerbated. API mental health experts will discuss common mental health issues, identify the social barriers that prevent API individuals from seeking help, and offer tips on coping during the increased stress and uncertainty of our current public health crisis.
