On the second Wed of the month, Crystal Han, MD, CAMHS psychiatrist and Evy Tran, LICSW, facilitate a conversation around the impact of AAPI culture, heritage and identity on mental health and wellness.

"As an Asian American female, it has been a complicated but rewarding journey to explore my history and racial and cultural identities. We hope to provide a space to foster community and support other AAPI students on their own journeys and toward our collective healing." ~ Crystal Han
