About this Event
Join us at the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) for an insightful symposium focused on mental health within the AAPI LGBTQ+ community. The event will feature a panel of three mental health experts who will discuss key topics such as self-acceptance, relationships, and the unique challenges facing queer Asian Americans. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions for the panelists. The symposium will be conducted primarily in English, with Mandarin language support available.
The event will also be live-streamed, and participants can submit questions in advance using the form linked below. This symposium is part of MOCA’s ongoing commitment to raising mental health awareness and fostering an inclusive space for AAPI LGBTQ+ voices.

About the Panelists
HENRY YUEN, Therapist in Training
I’m Henry, a queer, non-binary Chinese-New Zealander immigrant therapist in training at the Q’Lective. After a long career in the tech world building products from online classrooms to digital voice assistants, I switched into the world of mental health a few years ago to focus on helping queer communities of color navigate unique challenges and traumas. I work primarily with queer Asian clients and couples, navigating a wide variety of issues such as internalized inferiority, sexual racism and more than monogamy. I’m also an avid runner and triathlete, and enjoy bringing in the endurance and resilience of the human mind and body into my work.
