Caring for Asians: Navigating Stereotypes, Cultural Norms, and Beauty Standards
This presentation dives into the ways in which stereotypes impact well-being of Asian diaspora, the influence of media and interpersonal relationships on body image, and best practices for providing culturally-sensitive, weight-inclusive care. We’ll discuss the factors that increase risk for disordered eating and the factors that decrease the likelihood of people of Asian descent to seek mental health help.
