尽管亚裔美国人被普遍认为是“模范少数民族”，但亚裔美国妇女的心理健康挑战率很高，包括焦虑，抑郁，自我伤害和自杀想法和行为。然而，他们对精神卫生服务的利用率很低，可能需要采取文化敏感的治疗方法。亚洲妇女恢复力和赋权行动（AWARE）是一个八届会议，文化基础的干预措施，旨在用于大学校园，以解决这一未满足的心理健康需求。利用小组形式，认知行为策略和个人短信，AWARE提供策略，以解决与亚裔美国妇女在个人，人际，社区和系统（文化）层面的权力剥夺相关的心理健康风险。
Despite common perceptions of Asian Americans as a "model minority," Asian American women have high rates of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. However, they show low utilization of mental health services and may require culturally sensitive treatment approaches. Asian Women's Action for Resilience and Empowerment (AWARE) is an eight-session, culturally grounded intervention designed for use on college campuses to address this unmet mental health need. Utilizing a group format, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and individual text messaging, AWARE provides strategies to address the mental health risks associated with Asian American women's disempowerment at individual, interpersonal, community, and system (cultural) levels.
