Girls Rising Event: Self-Care for AAPI Girls and Young Women
Posted 2 years ago
In honor of Lunar New Year, this session had participants explore the different factors that impact the mental health of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) girls, young women, and nonbinary transfeminine individuals on a societal level, within their family system, and how that is internalized. During this interactive presentation, participants had the opportunity to share relevant experiences, reflect on how this impacts their lives, create an individualized self-care plan, and leave with mental health resources.
The Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action is expected to impact how campuses engage around issues of diversity and inclusion. As the leading national organization focused on the mental health of college students of color, the Steve Fund is committed to helping campuses prepare for this ruling’s implications for mental health, emotional wellbeing, and student belonging. This multi-part series is open to higher education professionals, especially deans, vice presidents, faculty, and counselors seeking to learn more about these issues and build effective approaches to addressing them.
Join us for a discussion of proactive strategies that promote belonging and prioritize the mental health of students of color in the post-affirmative action landscape. Explore how student organizations, sororities, fraternities, and communities of faith can serve as protective factors in preventing isolation, enhancing positive student experiences, and fostering a shared identity.
Now more than ever, there is a need to focus on campus culture, practices, resources, and programs that foster inclusive and supportive environments for all members of the college community. Explore proven and effective programs, approaches, and services that support colleges and universities in creating campuses that enhance student belonging and sustain mental health.
