CA statewide special: Mental health impacts of anti-Asian racism and violence
This one-hour special will focus on the mental health impacts of anti-Asian racism and violence on AAPI communities statewide. We’ll hear from mental health care providers, California journalists, and community members.
By Carolee Tran • • 1 min readAsian American mental health care providers in California are seeing an increase in demand for services in the wake of surging anti-Asian hate incidents, and the killings last month of six Asian women in the Atlanta area. The requests are notable for a community that’s been least likely of all racial groups to seek out mental health services. We take a deeper look at the heavy emotional and psychological toll of anti-Asian racism and what can be done to remove barriers to care.
This one-hour special will be hosted by KQED's Mina Kim, tune in Monday April, 19th, 2021 at 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. PST on KCRW.
