Destigmatizing Mental Healthcare for Pan-Asian Communities

Carrie Zhang is the founder of Asian Mental Health Project or AMHP, an initiative that aims to educate and empower Pan-Asian communities in making mental healthcare more accessible. Founded in 2019, the project currently uses social media, multimedia content creation and community events to de-stigmatize topics of mental health, critical social issues and provide tangible resources. A daughter of Chinese and Taiwanese immigrants, she graduated from the University of Southern California and currently works as a communications and marketing professional in the tech, entertainment and music space. In our conversation we talk about AMHP - what inspired her to start it, what she’s learned, and what’s next for AMHP in the next year. We’ll go into her personal mental health journey, why she chose to cater her project to the Pan Asian experience, cultural stigma, and of course, how she’s becoming. I’m excited for you to take a listen!
