ASIA is excited to host Gary Quan and James Chen, two Asian American mental health professionals and co-authors of a powerful new book exploring identity, healing, and the lived experiences of Asian Americans: Asian American Chronicles – Tales of Mental Health and Hope.
“This book is an open invitation to those who need time and space to find their way into the greater conversation of what it means to be Asian American and the deeper origins of their stories.” — Amazon“Had this book been available 35 years ago when I was living, studying, working, and navigating the complexities of American culture as an adolescent AAPI individual, I am confident that I would not have experienced such profound feelings of loneliness, anxiety, strain, and ostracism in this country. I encourage you to consider this book as a valuable resource for fostering a more positive life perspective and for supporting your mental well-being.”— Amazon book review
Whether you identify as Asian American or are simply seeking to better understand the experiences of Asian American communities, this event offers a valuable opportunity to listen, reflect, and engage.
The event will take place at MidTown Collaboration center from 4PM-6PM and will include a book signing hour. Your registration will come with a complimentary copy of Asian American Chronicles – Tales of Mental Health and Hope.
