Primary care is an accessible, non-stigmatizing environment. Routine mental health conversations with primary care providers can help normalize this topic for Asian Americans.

Low mental health utilization means that Asian Americans often do not seek out care themselves. But mental health problems are associated with a number of challenges in the workplace. By introducing mental health in the workspace, we can help normalize and encourage help-seeking behaviors.
How It Works
Faith-Based Community Partnerships
According to survey data collected by the Asian American Federation in 2023, Asian American adults in NYC are more likely to go to a religious-based organization (16%) than an agency specifically providing behavioral health services (8-12%) when seeking mental health services or support. Normalizing mental health topics and help-seeking in faith-based communities can significantly decrease stigma.
