This year’s Let’s Talk! Professionals Conference was especially designed for educators and mental health clinicians who support Asian and Asian American students in K-12 schools, higher education, and in the community.

Over the course of two days, a dynamic group of presenters representing clinicians, educators, and educational leaders aimed to (1) describe anti-Asian racism and its long historical context, including through an intergenerational trauma lens, (2) recognize the very real mental health impacts of anti-Asian racial trauma on AAPI students and educators/adults, and (3) incorporate strategies in your own work setting to promote healing and resilience among AAPI students.

Thank you to our 350+ participants from 16 states spanning elementary school to post-collegiate educational settings! We are so grateful for your passion and advocacy and look forward to continuing the conversation.
