The Power of Nonprofits

We’re honored to be featured by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation as part of its 25th anniversary series, highlighting the organizations working to improve youth mental health across the state.

At UCA WAVES, we’re committed to reducing barriers to mental health support for AAPI youth and families through culturally responsive education, suicide prevention training, and community-based outreach. By equipping young people, caregivers, and trusted adults with the knowledge and resources to recognize early warning signs, we’re working to ensure families can access support before challenges become crises.

We’re beyond grateful to their investment in community-driven solutions and helping amplify the voices and experiences of the communities we serve. We hope you take a moment to read the full article to learn more about how UCA WAVES and other nonprofits are making a difference in youth mental health across North Carolina!
