Featuring Dr. Jenny Wang, PhD

The Asian American Bar Association of Houston (“AABA”) and the South Asian Bar Association of Houston (“SABA”) are hosting a panel on mental health on June 23, 2022 at 6pm. Our panelists will share their career journey, but also how their AAPI identity has impacted their career. In addition to attorneys from our community joining us, we will be joined by Dr. Jenny Wang, PhD, licensed psychologist and author of Permission to Come Home and runs the Instagram community @AsiansForMentalHealth where she explores the unique ways Asian American identity impacts mental health. She has also led the creation of mental health directories, including the Asians for Mental Health therapist directory (www.asiansformentalhealth.com), to connect individuals with therapists with culturally relevant mental health care for Asian American diasporas.
