Did you know?
Data collected from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) found that Asian Americans have a 17.30 percent overall lifetime rate of any psychiatric disorder, yet Asian Americans are three times less likely to seek mental health services than Whites.
And guess what?
The South Asian Community has mental health needs that are just as vital yet are often overlooked! That’s where SAMHIN can help.
Our passionate volunteers help overcome the stigma and taboos that often pose obstacles for South Asians as they seek mental healthcare.
Your support of SAMHIN can help individuals find a safe place to address their challenges through culturally sensitive programs. Managing their mental health will improve their quality of life and lead to a healthier South Asian community.
