Topic: Culturally Responsive Mental Health Care for Asian Families

Guest Speaker: Huan-Tang Lu, Ph.D., LMHC, LSC, ACS, RPT, PMHNP

Introduction:
Asian American and Pacific Islander communities face unique challenges when it comes to mental health, including cultural stigma, language barriers, and systemic inequities. Despite growing needs, Asian Americans are among the least likely to seek mental health support. This workshop highlights the importance of culturally responsive mental health care—approaches that respect cultural healing practices, honor family and community values, and adapt evidence-based treatments to meet diverse needs. By understanding these complexities and embracing cultural humility, we can help bridge the gap in care and support the emotional well-being of Asian families.
