An increasing number of youth are struggling with mental health issues, and cultural factors impact everything from identity and communication to well-being and mental health.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from Dr. Josephine Kim, renown counselor and educator of Harvard Graduate School of Education, who will give a two-part seminar, solely dedicated to Asian parents at the Let’s Talk! Conference. Here is the session description:

BRIDGING THE CULTURAL GAP BETWEEN ASIAN-IMMIGRANT PARENTS AND THEIR ASIAN-AMERICAN CHILDREN
“PLEASE, help me understand my child!” comes out of the mouth of most parents at one time or another, but when cultural differences between the East and West enter the mix, those words can become a cry of desperation. Let’s Talk! presents a two-part session just for parents with renowned counselor and educator Dr. Josephine Kim who will share how cultural differences manifest in daily interactions between parents and children and what parents can do to protect children from life’s stressors. Most importantly through this session, parents will learn that they are not alone.

March 30th. This two-part workshop will take place during both session times from 1:00 – 2:15 pm  and 2:30 – 3:45 pm.

*All proceeds will go towards the Let’s Talk! Conference
