Summary

A national day to spotlight AANHPI mental health disparities and barriers to care.

Show full summary
  • Families and communities: Calls attention to affordability and low treatment use. Fifty-six percent of AANHPI adults said healthcare costs were the hardest item to afford, and 65.3% of an estimated 2.6 million who meet criteria for a mental health problem do not receive treatment.
  • Young people: Highlights that suicide was the leading cause of death for AANHPI youth ages 15 to 24 from 2018 to 2024, pointing to a need for targeted prevention and outreach.
  • Health systems and policymakers: Encourages disaggregated data, better language access, more providers and trained paraprofessionals, and policies to boost help-seeking, reduce stigma, and address trauma from discrimination and racial violence.
