WHEREAS, The Asian and Pacific Islander American community is among the fastest growing and most diverse racial groups in the United States. Asian and Pacific Islander Americans have made remarkable economic, political, and social contributions, and are the majority in 16 California cities and the second largest group in four California counties; and
WHEREAS, Approximately one in five Americans experience and are diagnosed with a mental health condition in a given year, impacting all communities regardless of race, ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status, and gender; and
WHEREAS, There is a critical need to raise awareness about and advocate for health care policies that increase the accessibility of mental health care services; and
WHEREAS, In this country, there is a critical need to raise awareness about mental health, particularly within the Asian and Pacific Islander American community, to destigmatize seeking help, and to gain access to culturally competent community services; and
WHEREAS, Asian and Pacific Islander Americans use mental health services at the lowest rates among ethnic populations. This may be due to the substantial stigma that exists among Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, as well as cultural and linguistic isolation of the community, family, and individual; and
WHEREAS, There is an extreme lack of research regarding Asian and Pacific Islander Americans and mental health issues. A combination of psychosocial and pharmacological treatments and supports prove to be highly effective for individuals with mental health issues having significant reduction of symptoms and improved quality of life; and
