SUMMARY:Asian American Psychological Association Convention in Denver\, CO
DESCRIPTION:In Resistance\, We Find Liberation. In Community\, We Find Joy.\n​It’s hard to find joy in the midst of activism and resistance\, and yet our movements depend on holding onto joy – together. Resistance is not just about struggle; it is also about healing\, connection\, and the radical act of embracing joy. Our organization seeks to uplift both resistance and joy\, honoring the ways they sustain each other in our collective work. This year’s theme\, “In Resistance\, We Find Liberation. In Community\, We Find Joy\,” brings together our shared commitments to activist scholarship\, collective healing\, and community empowerment. It invites us to explore the ways that joy fuels our resistance\, sustains our activism and scholarship\, and strengthens our communities. As we engage in a long-term struggle against oppression\, we must also create spaces for celebration\, renewal\, and hope. This theme highlights our presidential mission of embracing the full spectrum of our experiences\, recognizing that joy is not merely a byproduct of liberation but an essential part of the process itself. \nWe invite our community of psychologists\, researchers\, scholars\, practitioners\, community workers\, healers\, elders\, and students to share their expertise\, scholarship\, and journeys in navigating these interwoven forces. We document so much pain\, yet joy remains an underexplored and radical force in our work. This convention is an invitation to remember joy\, to reclaim it\, and to embrace it as an integral part of our resistance. As the saying goes… \nIf you want to run fast\, run alone. If you want to run far\, run together. \n

SUMMARY:Symposium on "Healing During Uncertainty: Asian American Mental Health"
DESCRIPTION:This symposium explores how identity\, culture\, history\, and systemic factors shape mental health in Asian communities. \nThe Asian American / Asian Research Institute’s 2025 symposium\, co-organized with NYU Steinhardt\, explores the intersections of identity\, culture\, history\, and systemic factors in shaping mental health experiences within Asian and Asian American communities. Centered around three key themes\, the symposium aims to address both longstanding and emerging challenges while equipping attendees with insights and practical strategies to advance mental health support. \n\n\nBuilding on the spirit of AAARI’s 2004 conference on “Asian American / Asian Studies: Aspects of Social Interaction\,” this event fosters collaboration between mental health professionals\, students\, and early-career practitioners\, while promoting meaningful discussions on policy implications and systemic change. It also reflects on past efforts and paves the way for a more inclusive\, culturally responsive approach to mental health\, benefiting both current and future generations. Despite challenges in institutionalizing Asian American studies\, CUNY has been a hub for vibrant activism and creative interventions to support AAPI students and communities. \nBy bridging research\, clinical practice\, and community engagement\, the symposium will address race-based trauma and foster partnerships to drive impactful change\, with workshops\, discussions\, and advocacy efforts aimed at advancing AAPI mental health across clinical\, organizational\, and policy levels. Join us for a day of reflection\, connection\, and action to shape the future of mental health within Asian and Asian American communities. \nThemes: \n\nYouth Mental Health: Addressing the mental health needs of Asian and Asian American youth\, with particular attention to cultural expectations and identity development.\nIdentities and Belonging: Exploring how diverse identities shape mental health experiences\, resilience\, and belonging within Asian and Asian American communities by navigating multiple identities\, challenging stereotypes\, and finding affirmation within their communities.\nMigration and Mental Health: Investigating the mental health impacts of migration\, acculturation\, and the challenges of navigating new environments.\n\nLuncheon Keynote Speaker: \n\nMimi Khúc\, Writer\, Scholar\, and Co-Editor of The Asian American Literary Review\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Womankind's 12th Annual Anti-Human Trafficking Conference
DESCRIPTION:Deconstructing the Gender Paradigm: Supporting Male Survivors in AAPI Communities \nWomankind’s 2025 Anti-Human Trafficking Conference aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how gender dynamics affect survivors of labor trafficking in Asian American and Asian immigrant communities. In doing so\, we hope to ultimately strengthen more inclusive and effective support systems. Panelists will analyze the gender paradigm\, which includes traditional beliefs and norms related to gender roles and identities\, and explore how society shapes and enforces these expectations. Additionally\, they will offer suggestions on how to better support male survivors of labor trafficking\, while avoiding the reinforcement of these norms. \nPanel #1 \n\nWomankind\nManForward\nKings County District Attorney’s Office\n\nPanel #2 \n\nWorker Justice Center of New York\nInternational Rescue Committee/Framework\nMosaic Family Services\, Inc.
