Ohio AANHPI Mental Health Summit

Our partner organization Ohio Asian American Health Coalition (OAAHC) is hosting the 2022 Ohio AANHPI Mental Health Summit on Saturday, October 29, a Free, In-person event with food and an informative program.


Come join a coalition of community members, health professionals, and mental health advocates to discuss the mental health of our Asian-American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. Experts from across the country who specialize in AANHPI mental health issues will discuss stigma, barriers and facilitators to mental health care, treatments, public policy, and advocacy across the age spectrum. Lunch will be provided. This event is FREE to attend and all are welcome.


This event will include a keynote address from Dr. Anjuli Amin, president of the Asian American Psychological Association, a panel discussion and breakout sessions with expert clinicians and community leaders and an art show of eight Ohio's AANHPI artists, ranging in age 10 to 53. Breakout session topics will include: mental health of Asian youth, mental health of AANHPI elders, and the relationship between food and mental health.
