Asian American Mental Health

Healing Circles

Healing circles are dedicated safe environments for people to share their experiences and create space for collective healing. MAAYF’s goal by the end of the year is to host at least 10 sessions in English and Chinese. There will be separate sessions for women, children and men. So far, MAAYF has hosted two sessions between January to March. 

Mental Health Professional Database

Alongside healing circles, MAAYF has created a directory of Asian mental health professionals in Missouri. This aggregated data includes language, location and contact information. This data will be used to disseminate to Asian communities across the state and also to understand the landscape of mental health access for Asian Americans. We are currently working on an interactive tool to help connect our community to the best resources for them, but a simple list of the resources we have gathered so far can be found here.
