We at Asian Mental Health Collective (AMHC), know that the organizers working for economic, environmental, and social justice within Asian communities are helping us to inclusively build the world we want to live in. While organizing can be inspiring, fulfilling, and energizing, it can likewise be stressful, urgent, and demanding.

Ironically, while community organizers are fighting for a more just world for those around them, they are not often supported with the time or resources to heal, refresh, and care for themselves. AMHC recognizes that the health and wellbeing of organizers is essential to ensuring the sustainability of movements and for the transformation and social change we want to create.

We understand that mental health support of organizers increases the health, resilience, and success of our community and our causes. To address this, AMHC, through generous funding from Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC, is launching a therapy fund specifically for organizers working to build social change.
