Speaking the Truth About

Mental Illness in the Asian Community

A benefit for Asian Community Mental Health Services

Claudine Woo

and

Kenny Yun

Stage Werx Theatre 446 Valencia (near 16th) . . . San Francisco, CA

”Thanks for Being Born” was established to raise awareness about mental illness in the Asian community, where it remains under-diagnosed and under-treated. It also provides an opportunity to recognize the extent of support and care provided by Asian Community Mental Health Services, for clients and their families. With culturally-sensitive support, families do not have to suffer alone in silence; they can get help for their loved ones.
