A Lecture by Dr. Paula  Chu

Asian-American adolescent girls have the highest rates of depressive
symptoms of all racial/ethnic and gender groups. Asian American college
students report higher levels of depressive symptoms than white students.
Asian American students as a group experience significantly more depression,
anxiety, and 

isolation and have lower self-esteem and self-concept when compared to
European Americans. It is not mere coincidence that Asian Americans are less
likely to seek mental health services and are more likely to have psychotic
diagnoses in inpatient and outpatient settings; these patterns relate
directly to our own 

challenges as parents to "hear" and make room for our children's emotional
lives. Without strong relational skills, children are left to resolve
emotional battles on their own, an overwhelming task for any member of the
human family. It is essential that we understand the importance of being
emotional coaches to our children as their best defense against mood
disorders and suicidal thoughts. Come and participate in a free interactive
workshop by a recognized therapist that will help us help our children.
