On March 10th, CPC hosted a Mental Health Forum titled "Building and Strengthening Mental Health in AAPI Communities" and brought together over 100 practitioners and social work students for professional development and networking. The forum explored how social determinants impact mental health awareness among AAPI individuals, highlighting elevated suicide rates among seniors, women, and college students and low treatment engagement. Keynote speaker Dr. Chau Trinh-Shevrin and a clinical psychologist panel featuring Dr. Doris Chang, Dr. Vanessa Li, Dr. Yihou (Mike) Zhou, and Dr. Thomas Kui emphasized the need for culturally competent care and community collaboration.
