全美华裔心理健康峰会

峰会主题：赋能，公平，创新

6/27-6/30 2024 美国华人大会的分会场

UCA WAVES将与美国华裔精神健康联盟（MHACC）和麻省总医院跨文化学生心理健康中心合作，在今年6月27-30日在华盛顿特区举办的2024年美国华人大会上，隆重推出全美华裔心理健康高峰会。

众所周知，亚裔社区因语言文化、移民经历、学业就业压力等多重障碍而面临特别巨大的精神、心理健康挑战。自杀是15-24岁亚裔青少年的第一大死亡原因。同时社区中存在对这一话题的回避和对心理疾患的污名化现象。这造成亚裔美国人遇到问题时寻求帮助的几率只有其他族裔的三分之一。多种因素也造成亚裔社区得到的心理健康公共资源大大低于人口比例，不足1%。

这次会议将汇集众多华裔精神、心理健康领域的专业人士、社区组织、倡导者、决策者，也将吸引广大关注这一议题的社区成员、家长和青少年，大家共同交流学习和互相鼓舞。我们将讨论影响我们社区的重要议题和趋势，学习精神、心理健康领域的创新做法和优秀经验，共同努力，为亚裔家庭和青少年建设更好的精神、心理健康支持体系！

加入我们，为亚裔社区的福祉共同献策献力！

Apply for Community Showcase

申请大会展台

We are accepting community showcase applications ( including the Youth Conference ). It will be a national platform for you to showcase the program you have been running and highlight your contributions to the community. It will also be a networking opportunity for you to connect with other leadings organizations in the AAPI mental health field.

In 2022, the convention invited about 60 organizations, 30 of which were youth organizations, to participate in the first ever Community Showcase throughout the weekend. Attendees visited the showcase hall where each organization had a designated table, providing opportunity to network and connect.

For this year's 2024 convention, we hope to feature even more organizations. The information about your organizations or youth programs collected here is used solely to prepare for the convention.

Please submit your applications using the buttons provided below before April 30th, 2024.

与前几次大会一样，我们将在会议期间举办华裔心理健康组织展示（Mental Health Community Showcase)、华人社区组织展示（Chinese Community Organizations Showcase）、以及亚裔青年组织展示（AAPI Youth Organizations Showcase）。

这是一个非常难得的机会，让华人社区组织、亚裔青年组织和华裔心理健康组织在全国性平台上展示自己组织的情况、成就以及举办的各类活动，扩大影响，吸引资源，寻求发展。

因为大会空间和场地有限，我们只能容纳60-70个组织的展台，还请各地组织尽快行动起来，尽快填写申请表报名，报名申请截止日期是4月30日。

参加展会的组织需要交纳$50展台费。我们将根据您提供的申请材料，由一个UCA评审小组进行筛选，并及时通知大家具体参展细节。

好消息！UCA WAVES 喜获

Blue Cross NC Foundation 基金

UCA WAVES is Awarded Blue Cross NC Foundation Research Funding

Congratulations!

2023年11月，美国华人联盟心理健康项目（UCA WAVES）在北卡州注册为独立的501c3非营利组织。UCA WAVES与Karen Community Farm at Oaky Grove 合作，得到北卡州议员Maria Cervania 以及13个北卡亚裔组织的大力支持，申请了BlueCross BlueShield Foundation NC 的一个“研究亚太裔美国人健康差异“的基金，并成为唯一成功获得资助的北卡州AAPI组织。

这个基金旨在深入了解北卡州的亚太裔美国人的健康状况和需求，以便于为促进和改善亚太裔社区整体健康制定战略和计划。目前，项目已经开始运作，并成功组织了第一次健康需求聆听会。

In November 2023, UCA WAVES registered as an independent 501c3 non-profit organization in the state of North Carolina. UCA WAVES, in partnership with Karen Community Farm at Oaky Grove, and with the support from North Carolina State Representative Maria Cervania and 13 North Carolina organizations, formed an Asian Pacific American health coalition to apply to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation research grant. The UCA WAVES-led coalition was selected as the only recipient of this grant in North Carolina.

The grant aims to "provide insights on the community conditions, health trends, and priorities impacting the health of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities in North Carolina".

The project will take a multifaceted approach that includes an assessment of the statewide Asian American Native Hawaiians Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) community demographics and health status, in-depth discussion of health needs and barriers through focus groups, a comprehensive health survey, and in-depth interviews centering on lived experiences.

This funding opportunity is designed to advance North Carolina-specific learnings about the health priorities of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, and the kinds of strategies and systems changes that could be successful in promoting and improving the overall health and well-being of these communities. The project has started with the first successful listening session on March 24th, 2024.

讲座- 污名如何影响亚太裔社区青少年的心理健康

Webinar - How Stigma Affects Youth Mental Health in the AAPI Community

3月25日，UCA WAVES 负责人Lily Chen受 NAMI NC（National Alliance on Mental Illness，全国精神疾病联盟）的邀请，作为主讲人在“NAMI AT NOON（NAMI午间研讨会）”开展了一场讲座，主题是《污名化如何影响亚太裔社区青少年的心理健康》。在讲座中，Lily通过自己亲身经历的和亲眼目睹的一些案例，讲述了由于文化差异、“模范少数族裔”压力，隔代沟通等原因，造成亚太裔(AAPI)社区年轻人普遍存在的一些心理健康问题。

当天参加了这场讲座的听众在讲座后给出了积极的评价。NAMI NC再次邀请Lily 5月8日为总部在北卡州Morrisville的联想公司的亚裔员工做同一主题的讲座。

On March 25, Lily Chen, UCA WAVES’ Director, was invited by NAMI NC to speak on the “NAMI AT NOON” series. In the webinar titled "How Stigma Affects Youth Mental Health in the AAPI Community", Lily shared several powerful cases that she personally experienced and witnessed. She discussed common mental health challenges among AAPI youth due to cultural differences, pressure from the "model minority" myth, and difficulty with intergenerational communication.

Participants who attended the webinar gave positive feedback. Following the webinar, Lily has also been invited to speak to the Asian American employees at Lenovo Co. in Morrisville, NC on May 8th.
