Youth mental health is one of the most urgent issues for the Chinese American community members today. Stigma against mental illness, social isolation, cultural expectations, identity issues, low mental health literacy, and lack of available Chinese-speaking or culturally sensitive mental health professionals – all of these factors contribute to the problem.
Our UCA WAVES team have created a Parent Support Needs Survey to better understand what tools or guidance Chinese-American parents need when addressing their child(ren)’s social and emotional wellbeing. By completing the survey, you will help us provide meaningful targeted services and support for our community.
The survey can be found at: https://form.jotform.com/211237028599157
Confidentiality Statement
Information collected in this survey will be held in strict confidentiality and will be used in aggregate form only, without individual identifications.

UCA-WAVES｜邀请您参加美国华裔家长需求问卷调查
亲爱的UCA会员和朋友们:
青少年心理健康是当今美国华人社区成员最迫切需要解决的问题之一。对精神疾病的污名化、社会孤立、文化期望、身份认同问题、心理健康素养低、缺乏会说中文或对文化敏感的心理健康专业人员——所有这些因素都导致了这一问题。
我们的UCA-WAVES团队创建了一个家长需求支持问卷调查，以更好地了解华裔美国父母需要什么工具或指导，以解决他们的孩子的社会和情感健康。完成这项调查，将有助我们为社会提供有意义、有针对性的服务和支援。
