 At the 2021 San Joaquin Valley API Mental Health Virtual Convening, we had our morning panel of seasoned female-identified API clinicians discuss culturally responsive therapy for API women. Our afternoon panel of clinicians and experts from public health, education, psychology, and the community helped us understand various API communities' histories and their impact on collective well-being. Our afternoon keynote speaker, Dr. Sherry C. Wang, a nationally renowned psychologist and mental health advocate, addressed the surge of anti-Asian racism since the pandemic and its mental health implications for the API community.
