Mental Health and Expectations of Asian Americans

Hi friends! Derek, Jamie, Tracy, and Vivienne are back to discuss
their mental health journeys (please note that there are
discussions about depression and eating disorders). Join them as
they explore racialized expectations and how they are learning to
heal. 


If you or a loved one is going through a difficult time, please
know that you are not alone!
