About Our Education Workshops
WAVES Education Workshops provide culturally-informed, community-centered learning experiences that empower individuals, families, and advocates to better understand mental health, trauma, healing, and support strategies. Each workshop is designed to create safe spaces for dialogue, expand access to knowledge, and build collective resilience across diverse Asian American and immigrant communities.
Our events bring together mental health experts, community leaders, and lived-experience voices to explore topics such as emotional well-being, intergenerational dynamics, trauma-informed care, and youth mental health. Workshops often include facilitated discussions, storytelling, practical tools, and opportunities for ongoing engagement.
