Amie & Hanjun's $20K for 2020

Amie: I remember mental health struggles growing up as a Korean American: Confusion with identity, cultural barriers in the family and school, low self-esteem, and perfection -- yet nowhere to talk and turn to. The Korean American community needs to talk more about our mental and emotional health! Help MSG raise mental health awareness and bring resources to the Korean American community. Every amount helps!

Hanjun: Korean American or 유학생으로서 가지고 있는 특별한 마음의 어려움을 공유하고 함께 해결해 나갈 수 있는 커뮤니티가 있는 것이 중요하다고 생각합니다. 예를 들어, 미국 사회에서 해야하는 네트워킹, 문화차이, 외로움, 또는 이방인 같은 느낌 등에서 오는 정신적인 스트레스가 있습니다. 혼자 고민하지 않고 함께할 수 있는 커뮤니티를 만들어갑시다!

Dear Korean American community: 

We need to talk. 

Statistics tell us that Korean Americans' rate of depression is 2x higher than the general U.S. population. Korean Americans' rate of suicide has grown 4x faster than the growth of the Korean American population. 

Social stigma. Cultural and linguistic barriers. Lack of awareness. 

This needs to change. 

Bicultural & bilingual spaces. Conferences, training, workshops.
Discussing generational differences. Practicing communication skills.

Educate. Equip. Empower. 

Please consider joining Mustard Seed Generation in our $20K for 2020 fundraising campaign! Funds will go directly toward:
