Important event to dispel the stigma for #AAPI mental health!

It is a little known fact that Asian American Pacific Islanders are one of the least likely groups to visit a therapist or psychiatrist.

We need to address the barriers to care and train a diverse workforce!

In 2019, Jasmine R Marcelin, MD, FACP, FIDSA 🦠 became the youngest person to be elected to the IDSA Board of Directors. Listen to Dr. Marcelin share her journey, from experiencing “imposter syndrome,” to why everyone should feel empowered to apply to IDSA’s Board of Directors: idsociety.org/multimedia/pod…

Excited to host Jian (Lily) Chen 陈健 as our Nebraska Medicine University of Nebraska Medical Center #AAPIHM keynote May 13!

Asian American Pacific Islander communities are one of the least likely to seek help for mental health issues.

We need a diverse workforce to bridge the gap.
