The month of May in the United States is both Mental Health Awareness Month and Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. Dr. Jenny T. Wang, a Taiwanese-American clinical psychologist who also founded the Instagram account @asiansformentalhealth, has written a new book that combines the spirit of both month-long celebrations, called, Permission To Come Home: Reclaiming Mental Health as Asian Americans. The book comes after the pandemic caused a rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans in the United States. Dr. Wang joins us to talk about the importance of seeking mental health care as an Asian-American, as well as the obstacles that make care harder, and take your calls.
