Changing Tides Fundraiser - May 2022

WHO WE ARE

Our mission is to destigmatize mental health in the AAPI community through events, outreach and education, and open conversations.

Changing Tides is a program of Little Tokyo Service Center (Los Angeles, CA) that began back in 2018 after a group of young adults saw a need for spaces to discuss AAPI mental health. In the past, we have hosted a youth paint night, a mental health art exhibition, and a day-long mental health conference. Since the start of the pandemic, we have pivoted to hold online events, such as workshops on impostor syndrome and resilience. We also recently launched The Changing Tides Podcast, where we invite guests to share about their mental health journeys. 

We are grateful for the community support that helped sustain our program through a difficult year. 2020 underscored the importance of mental health and we look forward to continuing to expand conversations!

OUR GOAL

For Give in May, we want to focus on the LTSC and CT community over how much money we fundraise. We believe the strength of Changing Tides comes from our "CT Family", and we can make that clear through the number of contributors to this campaign more than the amount we raise! So whether you are able to donate $5 or $500, it all combines to be something bigger than just a dollar amount.

HOW YOUR FUNDS CAN MAKE AN IMPACT

Your funds would support the following:

-  continuing our free therapy initiative, CT Stream, which is a stipend covering the full cost of 6-10 therapy sessions per individual in the initiative.

- ongoing workshops, conferences, and events to increase mental health dialogues and create safe spaces to connect
