Bridging AAPI Generations: Family, Culture and Emotional Connection

AAPI communities are built on strong cultural values, shared history, and care across generations. At the same time, differences in language, experiences, and expectations can make it hard for families to fully connect and understand one another.Join us for a conversation between mental health providers, Joanne Lam, PsyD, Benedict Lim, PhD, and Gerald Gonzales, PhD.We’ll talk about how culture shapes communication, family roles, and emotional expression, and how these can differ across generations. We will also discuss how to have more open conversations, navigate conflict with care, and strengthen relationships with parents, children, and elders. Whether you’re looking to improve your own family connections or support others, this session will help you build more empathy, clarity, and connection to support the well-being of families together.
