Women's Initiative 

Women's Initiative (Part I): May is a time to highlight the unique mental health challenges faced by Asian American women, including cultural stigma, familial expectations, and the pressures of balancing multiple identities. At the Asian American Women Association of Orange County, we are dedicated to our mission of Education and Mental Health, aiming to raise awareness and break down barriers for Asian American women. This month provides an opportunity to foster open conversations, encourage seeking help, and promote understanding. Throughout May, we will share selected stories on our Instagram, YouTube, and website—amplifying the voices of Asian American women in ways that inspire, connect, and heal.

 

Here’s how you can participate:

 

Submit a short video or written reflection (2-5 minutes or 150-300 words).

Speak from the heart—your culture, your mental health journey, or your path as an Asian American woman.
