Well-Being Event - Dragon Boat Festival & Fragrant Bag

Traditionally at the beginning of summer, around dragon boat time, children and audlts carry or wear sachets called Xiangbao. These ting bags containing fragrant herbs and plants, are believed to keep illness and evil spirits away.

Mental well-being is of utmost importance, and recognizing this, the FSP (Family Support Program) has introduced new services to address the specific challenges faced by Chinese American families. From parent-child interactions to homesickness and cultural maladaptation, the FSP has curated three transformative series to support individuals and families alike.

Culture Workshop hosted by South Coast Chinese Cultural Center (SCCCC) is a nurturing space that revolves around Chinese festivals, designed to alleviate homesickness and reduce stress caused by cultural maladaptation. By participating in these workshops, Chinese Americans can find solace in a supportive community rather than feeling isolated.
