Core Curriculum

While each Thriving Asians event is unique, each one incorporates the Core Curriculum. The Curriculum follows a motivational flow - easing participants into tough conversations, and ultimately leading to a point of hope & empowerment.

  • The workshop begins by inviting participants to be brave in listening, learning & sharing in a supportive space.

    The speaker models mental health leadership through sharing their story, and facilitates deeper community connections among participants.

  • The curriculum directly addresses common misconceptions & stigmatized beliefs regarding mental health. 

    Open discussions on Asian-specific stressors & stigma allow for participants to voice their experiences & community stories.

    Often invisible statistics on Asian mental health disparities are brought to light.

  • Participants are challenged to “break the cycle” by making positive mental health change for themselves & their communities.  Participants are guided through rethinking mental health as a means to thrive; and culture & community as strengths for wellbeing.

  • Participants engage in activities to build self-care skills; and identify meaningful practices learned from family, community, or culture that support wellbeing.

  • The workshop ends on an empowering note - encouraging participants to own their power as role models & leaders to shape mentally healthier families, communities, and future generations.
