With such a large scope provided by the topic of mental health\, our hope this week is to narrow it down and address how it manifests itself within the Asian American community. We hope to increase awareness by providing information\, support\, and a comfortable space. \nThough in recent times there has been increased awareness and acceptance\, it is still difficult for many of us to not only share our struggles but also feel sincerely acknowledged. Specifically within the Asian American community\, it is very common to overlook mental health and remain silent. Our goal is to empower each other to “find your voice\,” whether that may be through speaking about your own experiences\, learning how to be there for others\, or simply getting comfortable with the topic. \nRemember\, you are not alone. Together we can #breakthestigma. \n===================================================\nEVENTS: \nTabling on Bruinwalk:\nMonday 4/15 – Thursday 4/18\nTo start off our week\, members of AGC will be on Bruinwalk handing out stickers and flyers!

The panelists will share a mix of research findings\, clinical experiences\, and personal stories; the panelists will be released throughout the week\, so stay tuned! We will also share the data from the Google form (anonymously\, of course). \nPsypher: Mental Health & Dance Workshop\nFriday 4/19 | Parking Lot 4\, P1 | 8pm\nAGC is excited to announce a partnership with Psypher\, a club at UCLA that aims to address and discuss mental health issues in the space of a dance workshop.

The performance uses indigenous Filipino music\, dance\, interviews with live-in caregivers\, humor\, poetry\, and melodrama to depict the difficulties experienced by migrant domestic workers from the Philippines in Canada. Its aim was to entertain\, but also\, more importantly\, to make people aware of the economic\, social\, familial and emotional costs to the Filipinas who participate in what Rhacel Parreñas calls the “global exportation of care” (Force of Domesticity 50). This lecture looks at the affective power of art to engage with and raise awareness of the complexity of transnational mothering performed by Filipina domestic workers in Canada through the Live-in Caregivers Program. \n  \nSpeaker bio \nEleanor Ty is Professor of English & Film Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario. She is the Fulbright Canada Visiting Research Chair 2018-2019 at the University of California Santa Barbara where she is teaching a course on Asian American Graphic Novels.  She has published books on cultural memory\, Asian North American\, and on 18th Century literature. Her most recent book\, Asianfail: Narratives of Disenchantment and the Model Minority (U of Illinois P\, 2017) won the APALA (Asian Pacific American Librarians Association) Adult Non-Fiction award for 2017. \n  \nOrganized for AASD M119\, Asian American and Pacific Islander Labor Issues \nSponsors: Asian American Studies Department\, Asian American Studies Center \n  URL:https://asianam.ucla.edu/event/raising-awareness-through-the-arts-sulong-theatre-collective-and-migrant-filipina-workers-in-canada/ LOCATION:Kinsey Pavillion 1240B\, Los Angeles\, CA\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://asianam.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Future-Folk-2010-300x225-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190304T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190304T133000 DTSTAMP:20260404T025021 CREATED:20190228T184920Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190228T184920Z UID:4722-1551697200-1551706200@asianam.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Asian American Studies Center: Wikithon Event DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate and document Asian American and Pacific Islander history together!
