MHACC參加2024年NAMI加州年會：通過文化敏感性賦能社區



2024年NAMI加州年會於10月3日至4日在安納海姆的JW萬豪酒店舉行。此次年會匯聚了心理健康倡導者、專業人士和社區成員，共同探討心理健康倡議、同伴支持和系統改進等重要議題，旨在增強受心理健康問題影響的個人和家庭的能力。會議期間舉辦了多場研討會、專家小組討論和激勵人心的主題演講。


MHACC在年會上的活動


美國華裔精神健康聯盟（MHACC）積極參與了此次年會，設置了資訊攤位，向與會者介紹我們的文化敏感性精神健康服務。

我們的團隊還參加了年會中的各種活動，包括：

  • 主持文化敏感性工作坊：MHACC舉辦了題為“打破沉默：文化敏感性和支持網絡的力量”的工作坊，重點介紹了在心理健康服務中融入文化和語言敏感性的重要性。我們分享了在華裔社區工作的經驗，並探討了如何在多元文化背景下，打破與心理健康有關的污名。
  • 網絡交流與學習：我們利用這次機會向其他組織學習、分享最佳實踐，並討論未來可能的合作，以加強對弱勢社區的心理健康服務。


繼續我們的使命


NAMI加州年會為MHACC提供了一個展示我們工作的平臺，同時也讓我們獲得了寶貴的見解，以改進我們的項目。我們將繼續致力於通過文化敏感性的服務、教育和倡導，支持華裔社區的心理健康。

MHACC at the 2024 NAMI California Annual Conference:

Empowering Communities Through Cultural Competence


The 2024 NAMI California Annual Conference, held on October 3-4 at the JW Marriott in Anaheim, brought together mental health advocates, professionals, and community members to discuss key mental health initiatives, peer support, and system improvements. This year's conference aimed to empower individuals and families affected by mental health challenges and featured a variety of workshops, expert panels, and inspiring keynote speakers.


MHACC's Presence at the Conference

The Mental Health Association for Chinese Communities (MHACC) actively participated in this year's conference, setting up an informational booth to introduce our culturally sensitive mental health services.

Our team participated in various conference activities, including:

  • Hosting a Workshop on Cultural Sensitivity: MHACC led a workshop titled "Ending the Silence: The Power of Cultural Competence & Support Networks," which highlighted the importance of culturally and linguistically sensitive approaches to mental health services. We shared our experiences working with Chinese communities and discussed strategies to break the stigma associated with mental health in culturally diverse populations.
  • Networking and Learning: We took the opportunity to learn from other organizations, share best practices, and discuss potential collaborations to strengthen mental health services for underserved communities.


Continuing Our Mission

The NAMI California Annual Conference provided a platform for MHACC to not only present our work but also gain valuable insights to enhance our programs. We are committed to continuing our mission of supporting the mental well-being of Chinese communities through culturally sensitive services, education, and advocacy.
