A quiet global crisis
In 2018, Asians were 60 percent less likely to have received mental health treatment as compared to non-Hispanic whites.*
Suicide was the leading cause of death for Asian/Pacific Islanders, ages 15 to 24, in 2019.*
In 2015-2019, Asian men were the least likely to use mental health services compared to any other race and gender combination.**
We are here to bridge the gap.
Established in 2019, Proud Asian Men is a support group, hosted under Asian Mental Health Project and JinShan Collective, whose mission is to create a safe and brave space for Asian men to explore the intersection of their culture and masculinity in a supportive environment.
