LA County's First Art Show Supporting The Mental Health of Filipino-American Youth

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- For Filipino-American youth, cultural and societal pressures can have a major impact on mental health. But help-seeking rates are much lower than rates found in general US populations, and they are also low compared to other minority Asian groups. Studies show higher rates of depression among Filipino-American adolescents compared to their peers due to a cultural stigma around mental health, strict family expectations, and experiences of discrimination.

That's why The Human Beauty Movement along with the LA County Department of Mental Health Asian Pacific Islander (API) Underserved Cultural Communities (UsCC) subcommittee has put together a unique creative wellness program specifically for Fil-Am youth ages 16-24. Under the auspices of the Mental Health Services Act, the program involved in-person workshops covering mental health education, mindfulness practices, art therapy, and the creation of comic book artwork.
