EVENTS & CALENDAR
TAAF AAPI Youth Mental Health Summit - LIVESTREAM
On November 7, Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California, the nation’s oldest and largest public affairs forum, will host The Asian American Foundation’s (TAAF) first-ever AAPI Youth Mental Health Summit. Under the theme “Sparking Solutions Together,” the summit will convene hundreds of experts, advocates, funders, and business executives to address the urgent and often overlooked mental health challenges facing Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) youth. From 2018 through 2022, suicide was the leading cause of death among Asian Americans aged 15–24, and the second leading cause of death among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Yet despite being deeply impacted by the nation’s mental health crisis, AAPI youth remain largely invisible in the national mental health conversation, and the data needed to understand their mental health is scarce at best.
To fill the gap, TAAF released "Beyond the Surface" in December 2024, the most comprehensive study to date on AAPI youth mental health, which revealed: Nearly 1 in 2 AAPI youth screen positive for moderate depression; 1 in 3 have planned or attempted suicide; Stigma, family pressure, and silence keep many from seeking help; Only 53 percent feel comfortable talking with their parents; Just 1 in 4 have accessed formal care; and 46 percent have never seen a mental health provider. Building on these findings, the November 7 summit will bring together leading experts to spark dialogue on breaking stigma, closing gaps in care, and exploring how community partners and technology are reshaping the ways young people seek and receive support.
This program is presented by The Asian American Foundation and Commonwealth Club World Affairs.

사랑은 해치지 않는다: 건강한 관계와 공동체
“쉼터는 어떤 곳인가요? 그리고 어떤 활동을 하나요?”
“평등하고 건강한 관계는 어떤 모습일까요?”
누구나 때때로 건강하지 않은 말과 행동을 할 수 있습니다. 하지만 그 순간을 인식하고, 더 나은 사랑의 모습을 고민할 때 우리는 건강한 관계와 공동체로 나아갈 수 있습니다.
이번 웨비나에서는 샌프란시스코 베이 지역의 비영리단체 아시안 여성 쉼터(Asian Women’s Shelter)의 활동을 소개하고, 건강한 관계와 사랑의 모습을 함께 고민해봅니다.

National Liberation Day of Korea (광복절)
The National Liberation Day of Korea is a public holiday celebrated annually on 15 August in both South and North Korea. It commemorates the day when Korea was liberated from 35 years of Japanese colonial rule by the Allies in 1945. The day also coincides with the anniversary of the founding of South Korea in 1945.
In South Korea, it is known as Gwangbokjeol (Korean: 광복절; lit. The Day the Light Returned). The name Gwangbokjeol uses the term “restoration” (복; bog) instead of “independence” (독립; dongnip) to emphasize that Korea had been independent for years prior to Japanese rule.
