Asian Americans are one of the fastest growing groups in United States. However, the overall need for mental health services and the effectiveness of prevention and treatment programs continues to be understudied and underfunded. From the available research, Asian Americans report with equally high rates of mental health need, but rarely seek out treatment to address this reported need.

This conference will present ground-breaking information to assist clinicians and researchers who are serving Asian American populations. The program consists of a distinguished group of presenters including Dr. Stanley Sue, Palo Alto University and UC-Davis, as the keynote speaker.
