Groups
Coming Home Together {Currently On Pause}
Coming Home Together is a group for Asian American adults who are interested in exploring the relationship between Asian American identity and mental health. It can be hard to discuss mental health in Asian American communities, which feels very isolating. This group can be a great place to build connections with other people who have similar life experiences or interests. You will get to process your experience as an Asian American navigating mental health amidst family expectations, cultural tensions, and other influential factors with the support of a therapist and other group members.
