Atlanta Mental Health Summit
Atlanta Mental Health Summit: Improving Mental Health Services for AAAI Communities
Date: Friday, March 15, 2024 from 9 AM - 6:30 PM ET
Location: Catalyst Community Center (1854 Shackleford Court, Norcross, GA 30093).
In collaboration with Emory University, the Center for Pan Asian Community Services (CPACS), and the Public Health Institute - Lotus Project, we are hosting the Atlanta Mental Health Summit: Improving Mental Health Services for AAAI Communities.
March 16, 2024 will mark the 3-year anniversary of the Atlanta spa shootings that killed eight people, six of which were women of Asian descent. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AAAIs have been exposed to increased violence and harassment, which have been linked to increased vulnerability to racial stress, trauma, and worsened mental health outcomes. Given the growing AAAI population in Atlanta, this summit/workshop aims to connect researchers, practitioners, and community leaders in order to promote greater culturally sensitive trauma-informed care and prevention for underserved AAAI children and families. There will be opportunities to network with and engage in small group discussions with other professionals in the field.
