ASAM 022 AA - Asian American Wellness
This course will examine the social, cultural, historical, and political pressures experienced by the Asian American community, and its impact on mental health. Within the Asian American community there are more than thirty different ethnic groups, each with very specific histories and experiences in the US; students will be exposed to the ways in which race, class, (im)migration have shaped this experience. Specific mental health issues prevalent in the Asian American community will be explored. With a foundational exposure and understanding of the Asian American community, students will be given tools to record theirs and their family’s experiences with mental health. Students will learn creative writing as a means to connect to social, historical, and contemporary issues, and also as a means of self-expression. Students will create public education materials, including a blog and video that discusses pressures experienced by Asian Americans and strategies to mediate these pressures.
