Read the case study.
Na-Yeun is from South Korea. She moved to the US twelve years ago and went to a small college in rural Tennessee where she was one of the first female Asian students on campus. As she struggled, it was suggested that she hang out with and behave more like an American.
I describe this as a kind of floating around kind of feeling of sense of not belonging in a way. I think I struggled that for a long time and for a while. So I felt a lot of internal and also external pressure of feeling like I need to be one-sided and kind of needs to lose contact with my Korean-ness.
Nancy is American-born growing up in Ohio. Her parents emigrated from Vietnam. She says that for many Asian-Americans there's difficulty around mental health issues.
I think a lot of times the Asian culture, I guess, dominates where I think there is still a lot of shame and stigma where for Asian Americans it's still harder to seek help if you need mental health services. Even growing up, you don't talk about mental health, like, in the household.
