“Dr. Jenny T. Wang has been an incredible resource for Asian mental health. I believe that her knowledge, presence, and activism for mental health in the Asian American/immigrant community have been invaluable and groundbreaking. I am so very grateful that she exists.”–Steven Yeun, actor, The Walking Dead and Minari
“Dr. Wang has been instrumental in my growth as a person, professional, and cultural expert.”–Dr. Dana E. Crawford, founder, Crawford Bias Reduction Theory and Training, and scholar-in-residence at Columbia University in the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute
“In general, Asian experiences are either missing, misunderstood, or pathologized in Western conceptions of mental health. Meanwhile, in Asian communities, it is stigmatizing to even acknowledge mental health issues, much less talk about it. Dr. Jenny T. Wang has provided the rare and safe space for people to learn about, share, and to find resources, allyship, and validation on topics that are not discussed and not possible to discuss in real life.”
–Dr. Sherry C. Wang, associate professor, counseling psychology, Santa Clara University
“This is a timely and insightful reconsideration of mental health in the Asian American community.”–Publisher’s Weekly
