What anti-Asian hate means for mental health, safety and justice

The wave of attacks against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders has been emotionally gutting for these communities. It has also galvanized action and challenged journalists to think about their role and responsibility in covering sometimes overlooked issues with sensitivity and nuance.

This webinar will examine the impact of the crisis on the mental health of Asian Americans, especially the women who are often targeted. It will also explore forward-looking strategies to foster individual and community resilience.

Asian Americans are three times less likely than their white counterparts to use mental health services. How are providers overcoming the systemic and cultural barriers to address increases in anxiety, depression and stress in communities that were already at high risk? What is the role of police in protecting AAPI safety, amid a national outcry to end over-policing? What are the most effective community-based approaches to improve health and safety and advance justice?

Join us for a deep discussion to inform your coverage of the crisis, your reporting on Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, and your understanding of some of the most fraught racial issues in the nation.
