SUMMARY:Promoting Mental Health in Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Communities
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place in person at the Morningside Heights Library. \nPromoting Mental Health in the Asian American\, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (PMH-AANHPI) Communities in New York City \nNationally\, hate crimes against members of the Asian American\, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community increased by 73% during the COVID-19 pandemic and nearly doubled in New York City (NYC) in 2021 when compared to 2020. Additionally\, AANHPI communities in NYC have a relatively high rate of poverty when compared to other communities. Systemic racism and anti-Asian hate\, coupled with constrained economic circumstances\, increase the risk for post-traumatic stress\, depression\, anxiety\, anger\, lower self-esteem\, concerns over safety and poor behavioral health outcomes among AANHPI individuals and communities. PMH-AANHPI will focus on promoting mental health and prioritizing resilience for all. \nAbout PMH-AANHPI: The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (Health Department) PMH-AANHPI offers a new learning experience at local community-based organizations (CBOs) serving the AANHPI community\, whose participation will help inform the program so it meets the community’s\nneeds. \nOur Mission: The PMH-AANHPI Learning Initiative will hold multiple workshops both virtually and in person. PMH-AANHPI aims to learn from NYC AANHPI community members and leaders about their perspectives on behavioral health status\, priorities and needs while offering information about mental health services\, skills and strategies. The workshops will foster strong partnerships between CBOs and select mental health providers (MHPs) to connect AANHPI community members to services and strengthen the coordination of community resources. To view available dates and register for the PMH-AANHPI Learning Initiative\, visit pmh-aanhpi.timetap.com. \nThe workshop is open to all\, including:\n• Community members\n• Faith and business leaders\n• Mental health professionals and health care providers\, including nurses\n• School and college staff and students \nParticipants will learn:\n• The history of the AANHPI community and how to access local AANHPI resources\n• To identify signs of mental health decline and when professional help is needed\n• To combat the stigma of mental illness\n• To enable early intervention through recognition\n• About community resilience action plans \nFor more information about scheduling private learning workshop\, please email Claire Li at\njli14@health.nyc.gov. \nFor free\, 24/7\, confidential mental health support or crisis counseling\, visit nyc.gov/nycwell or call 888-NYC-Well (888-692-9355). \n\n\n\n\n\nAudience: Adults\, College & Graduate Students\, Families\, Parents/Caregivers\, Young Adults/Pre GED (16-24 years)\n\n\n\nAssistive Listening and ASL\nASL interpretation and real-time (CART) captioning available upon request.
