Who is this for?

This mental health workshop* is intended for first-gen/second-gen (adult) children of immigrants, especially the eldest daughters/alpha daughters, and/or the women in the Fil-Am/AANHPI community who have always been the caregivers, high achievers, problem solvers, etc. who are now looking to decolonize and unlearn inherited expectations. Open to those who identify as AANHPI women/womxn, Filipina/x, pinay/pinxy.
