Mental health concerns rise among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities

So, to increase awareness of mental health issues in AANHPI communities, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and AAPI Data, based at UC Riverside, published a 67-page report detailing the psychological toll burdening these communities.

The report, titled “Piecing the Puzzle of AANPI Mental Health: A Community Analysis of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Experiences in California,” connects survey data with community experiences impacted by cultural nuances, U.S. foreign policy and intergenerational trauma.
