The second webinar of our Suicide Prevention and Intervention for Asian American & Asian Immigrant (AAAI) Youth Webinar Series, Clinical & Community-Based Approaches, will take place on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 from 12- 1:30PM PT via Zoom.

This webinar will explore culturally responsive approaches to identifying, preventing, and addressing suicidal ideation among AAAI children, youth, and families. Speakers will discuss the unique pressures shaping youth mental health, including stigma, internalized achievement expectations, and barriers to accessing care, and examine how these dynamics influence help-seeking behaviors. The session will focus on suicide prevention approaches implemented in both clinical and community-based settings, highlighting practical strategies to reduce stigma, strengthen early identification, and expand access to support through schools, families, and community partnerships. Through case studies and field-based insights, this webinar will offer actionable approaches to strengthening prevention efforts and supporting youth across the spectrum of suicidality.

Featured webinar speakers include Mary Lu, MA, LMFT, Program Director of Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance (OCAPICA) and Peter Gee, MPP, RN, Co-Executive Director of Little Tokyo Service Center (LTSC).
