Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander - 988 Lifeline

¡Los servicios de texto y chat de 988 Lifeline ya están disponibles en Español!

The AANHPI community in the United States is an extremely diverse population that includes people with ancestry from  East and Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent with Chinese, Indian, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese heritage representing the largest origen groups. AANHPI individuals may be at an increased risk of suicide due to mental health disparities that exist such as discrimination, lack of insurance, limited evidence-based interventions, language barriers and lack of qualified and culturally-competent therapists and counselors.

In 2021, suicide was the leading cause of death among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders ages 10 – 19, and the second leading cause of death among those ages 20-34 (SAMHSA). Contributors to mental health challenges among AANHPI communities include family and immigration trauma, shame and stigma, gender bias, cultural norms and expectations, and racial discrimination. Social expectations and stereotypes, such as the “model minority,” contribute to the belief that many AANHPI youth and young adults experience fewer mental health problems compared with their counterparts from other backgrounds and, therefore, do not need mental health care.

The following resources are meant to help members of the community access culturally-competent care and, learn about advocating for and work to overcome the cycle of stigma around mental health care.
