Historically, the United States cannon of mental health research and intervention has grossly neglected the needs of the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. With the rise of anti-AAPI racism and discrimination precipitated by the Covid-19 Pandemic, AAPI folx have reported higher levels of mental health acuity and deserve/need culturally responsive care. Unfortunately, many AAPI folx report not receiving this.
This workshop seeks to contribute to the dialogue of creating healing centered engagement in AAPI mental health care. Through a review of relevant frameworks on identity development and family systems that speak to AAPI subjectivity, case vignettes of AAPI therapists working with AAPI clients, and critical consciousness, this workshop aims to create a discussion about the inter-subjectivity in the work of applying a healing justice framework in AAPI community practices and mental health programming.
The presenter Noel Ramirez, LCSW, DBH, MPH is a Philadelphia-based licensed clinical social worker and public health professional.
