Many in the Asian American community are experiencing a renewed connection to their identity, inspiring them to radically reconsider the cultural frameworks that enabled their assimilation into American culture. As Asian Americans investigate the personal and societal effects of longstanding cultural narratives suggesting they take up as little space as possible, their mental health becomes critically important. Although over 18 million people of Asian descent live in the United States today, they are the racial group least likely to seek out mental health services.
Through her work and in her latest book, Permission to Come Home, Taiwanese American clinical psychologist Jenny Wang confronts and destabilizes the stigma Asian Americans face in caring for their mental health. She offers permission to embrace mental and emotional self-care while understanding and honoring the richness of heritage to embody a new, complete identity.
Join Dr. Wang for a powerful conversation about the intersection between Asian American identity, mental health, and social justice. From recognizing emotions, to establishing boundaries, managing anger, and introducing play into one's life, Dr. Wang shares a road map for the journey to wholeness.
