AANHPI Specific — QTBIPOC Resource Guide

AANHPI Specific Resources

There were no general resources found on Central or East Asians, so they are included under this umbrella, "AANHPI", throughout this guide.

Mental Health

There were no specific mental health resources found yet on Central Asians, East Asians, Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders, so they are included under this category instead.

Asian Mental Health Collective is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization helping to build community amongst AANHPI seeking mental health support. I found their US therapist directory resource particularly helpful when looking for a therapist of my own. Asian therapists practicing in the US are also able to add themselves to this directory via a Google Form on the Asian MHC website.

This website, AANHPI service providers, gives access to a list of AANHPI providers from each state. Unfortunately for North Carolinians, there is only one resource listed, which is the NC Department of Health and Human Services Mental Health Division.

Crisis Care

Womankind is a multilingual organization for domestic violence survivors on the East Coast. This link will bring you to a page with a phone number to call, but also a text and chat line.

Legal Assistance

"Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach aims to provide culturally competent and linguistically appropriate legal representation, social services, and advocacy for the most marginalized in the AANHPI community".

"The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund...protects and promotes the civil rights of Asian Americans".

North Carolina (NC) Specific Resources
