Mental Health Initiative
The APIA Scholars Mental Health Initiative utilizes a 3-pronged approach to address mental health needs in our Scholar community. First, we’re building awareness around the impacts of mental health challenges within the APIA community in an effort to eliminate stigma and encourage dialogue. Second, we’re partnering with community experts to host virtual sessions where we dive deeper into mental health discussions and participate in wellness practices together. Third, our Meta teletherapy app provides Scholars with access to a mental health provider in the palm of their hand. Learn more about the Mental Health Initiative and register to join us today!
