While Anti-Asian sentiments unfortunately are not new, COVID-19 has shifted the landscape to expose anti-Asian racism and increased racist violent attacks and harassment. Join this important webinar and Q&A to learn about the negative impacts of racism and discrimination on the mental health of our youth, the critical importance of parents supporting their children especially during these challenging times, and practical strategies for parents on how to talk about anti-Asian racism and discrimination at home. This webinar will include brief presentations with ample time for discussion and Q&A.
