Feel mad about feeling bad about feeling sad? Your hosts, Nelly and Juno, kick down the doors to face the big, fat elephant in the room - mental health with unfiltered conversations. We're young, badass Asian American women with ADHD who are fed up pretending to be fine, so here’s to cutting the crap. Grab a coffee and join in on the laughs, the cries, and everything in-between as we share our authentic experiences and struggles working, adulting, and occasionally f*cking around through our 20s. twoaddys.com

Silent Struggles of the Model Minority with Carrie Zhang, Founder of Asian Mental Health Project

With cultural stigmas, outdated stereotypes, and the model minority myth, Asian Americans are often encouraged to fight their mental health issues in silence. Combined with a lack of culturally appropriate resources in a predominately white mental health workforce, finding support can seem especially inaccessible. Carrie Zhang, founder of the Asian Mental Health Project, experienced this firsthand as an Asian American raised by immigrant parents in California. We chat with Carrie in this episode to explore the unique struggles of being Asian American, her personal mental health journey, and her initiatives in the mental health community.

The Asian Mental Health Project is an initiative that began in 2019, that builds community events and multimedia resources to make mental health more accessible for Pan-Asian communities.
