  • From Stigma to Support: Bringing Mental Health Groups to Chinese American Health Workers 

    Community health centers that serve Chinese and other immigrant communities sit at a powerful intersection of cultural identity, stigma, and care. The staff who work in these settings, like medical assistants, social workers, behavioral health clinicians, financial services staff, and others, are often members of the very communities they serve. They carry both the emotional weight of their roles and the cultural meanings attached to mental health, stress, and vulnerability.
