Mental Health Resources for Asian Americans

For members of the Pan-Asian Community, we have compiled a list of organizations that provide mental health resources and connect Asians with culturally informed healers. We’ve included some links to public health resources and online cultural communities as well.

Below that, you’ll find a list of ethnic justice organizations committed to combating hate and violence, advancing and empowering Asian societies. We have also included crowdfunding campaigns that allow you to donate to directly support victims and families of violence against Asia.

Discrimination and violence against Asian societies are fueled by white supremacy. For our white readers, we included a few resources, including spectator intervention exercises and education about the history and current state of systemic discrimination in the United States.
