dear elia: Letters from the Asian American Abyss | Asian Mental Health Bookclub

Join us for a virtual event where we will be discussing dear elia: Letters from the Asian American Abyss. Written as a love letter to her daughter Elia, this book offers a revolutionary recognition that we are all "differentially unwell" and that this collective unwellness is not our fault. Khúc identifies what contributes to "unwellness" in the Asian American community and helps us envision what the world would look like if we prioritized wellness. The event will take place on Tue Jan 14 2025 at 5pm PST. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with other Asians/Asian Americans through the power of stories!

EVENT FAQ:

Who is this group for?

What type of book club vibes can I expect?
