SUPPORT
As a community, we support each other. To overcome the model minority myth and the pressures of society, we must normalize imperfections from Asian Americans. No one should be burdened with the ideal of perfection. We encourage everyone to contribute to our forum, and interact with Asian students all over the world!
We held our 2023 Model Minority Myth Panel in AAPI month this year! Read more about it and watch the recording!
AAMHI co-hosts the county-wide Waymaking Special on Student Mental Health with over 1K viewers!
