California Law Review in Context: Conversation on AAPI Identity and Racial Trauma

Details

Article

Thanks to the HIA Racial Equity Grant, the California Law Review co-hosted a conversation on mental health, AAPI identity, and how to process, grieve, and engage after collective racial trauma in Spring 2021. The conversation touched on questions such as: How do you engage with and/or protect yourself from social media that might amplify instances of racialized violence? What are the cultural expectations that might exacerbate existing trauma? How does our campus culture add to the layers of complexity we face in having these conversations? Alyssa Panyawai, a licensed clinical social worker at UC Berkeley, joined to help facilitate the conversation and to offer helpful mental health resources.
