🗽 歡慶獨立日 . 從每個山腰 . 讓自由振鈴 🦅
🍻 親愛的大家，收件快樂！
7月4日是美國獨立日，這是一個歡慶自由，平等，和追求幸福的權利的日子。
當熱鬧的派對散去，當煙花盛放的時候🎆。也許你會坐在夜空下，冥想一下，這個日子對於你的意義? 你渴望的幸福是什麼？自由，對於我們每個人有多重要。
用金博士的名句為大家獻上獨立日的祝福：
從每個山腰 ⛰️ 讓自由振鈴 🔔

🍻 Dear All~Happy 4th of July!
Independence Day is a day when we celebrate Life, Liberty, and the right to pursue Happiness.
As the party settles and the fireworks bloom, perhaps you will find yourself under the flashing sky thinking, "what does this day mean to me?" What is happiness to you？How important is independence to you, and to each of us?
As Dr. King famously declared:
“From every mountainside, let freedom ring”

🍻 7月是全國少數族裔心理健康意識月。
我們知道，任何人都可能經歷精神疾病的挑戰，無論其種族、膚色、性別，或身份背景如何。然而，在許多少數族裔的社區，因為文化污名，護理機會較少，和護理質量的低下等原因，精神疾病的危機加劇。
多年來，MHACC 一直和 NAMI 一起，通過各種努力，試圖改變這種狀況。應對精神疾病的病恥感，改善患友的健康狀況，需要我們所有人的努力 💪🧑🤝🧑
🍻July is considered the Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. We know mental illness does not discriminate based on race, complexion, gender, or identity, but the challenges to treat and cope with the illnesses are exacerbated in many minority communities due to cultural stigma, lack of resources, and lack of access to proper health care. Over the past few years, MHACC has been working with NAMI to overcome these obstacles, but it would require our united efforts to tackle the challenges of living with mental health conditions, navigating the coverage of health insurance, and destigmatizing mental illness within our community.

🍻 炎炎夏日, 知名紀錄片導演常昌富教授工作組一行, 從東部來灣區繼續進行電影Silent War的拍攝工作 🎬
On a hot summer day, a team of well-known documentary directors led by Professor Chang Changfu arrived at the Bay Area from the East coast to continue the filming of the movie “Silent War”.
 
🍻 常教授還抽空和美國華人聯合會(UCA)理事-NCCU大學護理系講師Lily Chen, Cathy開心健身公益平台(CFF), 和美國華裔精神健康聯盟負責人彭一玲一起開會探討"挽救生命的故事” 講座. 6月30日的會議反應熱烈, 強烈引起与會者的共鳴.
Professor Chang also took time to discuss the "Life-Saving Stories" lecture with
Lily Chen, who is the director of the United Chinese Association (UCA) and a lecturer of the Department of Nursing of NCCU University. He also communicated with the Cathy Happy Fitness Platform (CFF) and Peng Yiling, director of the MHACC. The meeting on June 30th resonated with its attendees and received an overwhelmingly positive response.
🍻由於疫情打擊下, Silent War影片製作單位資金嚴重緊張, 工作人手和設備缺乏, 懇請大家伸出援手, 支持美國首部以華裔多個家庭為背景的精神健康記錄片成功製作! 非常感謝！🙏
Due to the impact of the pandemic, the Silent War film production team is considerably lacking funds, staff, and equipment.
Please support the successful production of the first mental health documentary in the U.S. which delivers the stories of Chinese-American families. Thank you very much!

Oakland Chinatown has always proudly led the way in cultural festivities and events. The small town provides a safe space for API to gather and to freely express themselves without worries of physical harm or criticism.
The covid pandemic has caused chaos nationwide, but the Asian community has especially felt the consequences. The covid virus not only attacked individuals, but also harmed our businesses and livelihood. The Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council (OCIC) has made it our goal to collaborate with members of the community to ensure that Chinatown maintains strong cultural and economic cohesion in these challenging times.
In our first efforts to promote the wellbeing of Chinatown, the OCIC would like to announce the Summer/Qixi Festival on 9th street in Oakland. The Qixi Festival, also known as Chinese Valentine's day, is the most romantic of all traditional Chinese holidays. On this unique day, people write their wishes on a paperboard and hang them on a tree to pray for love. The beautiful symbolism is not only a facilitator for love, but also bonds and shows cohesiveness within a group of people. MHACC is the main sponsor and supporter of the event！
We look forward to you joining us!
⏰Time: 10:00AM-5:00PM July 30th, 2022
🏠Location: Oakland Chinatown，Ninth street (From Franklin Street to Alice Street), Oakland, CA 94607 ，Behind The Media, The Real Oakland Chinatown！）

🍻 6月20日，美國華裔精神健康聯盟主席彭一玲在加州州長主持的會議上發言，支持讓有心理健康問題的無家可歸者接受精神心理治療的 “CARE Court” https://www.chhs.ca.gov/care-court/
她表示：患有精神疾病的群體的生存環境很艱難。他們中不少人的經歷令人心碎💔，我希望這個社會能對這些弱勢群體多些包容，多些理解。無家可歸問題是美國社會的頑疾。希望加州的此番努力可以大大減輕因患嚴重精神疾病而流落街頭問題，並拯救本不應該消逝的生命！🏥
最新統計顯示，2020年加州約有超過16萬名無家可歸者，其中近四分之一患有嚴重的精神疾病。但彭一玲認為，這個數字其實被低估，精神健康問題是無家可歸的關鍵原因之一。
為了緩解這個問題，州長已經在預算案中提議斥資20億元建造更多治療床位，並提議在每個縣設立專門的「心理健康法庭」（CARE Court）
“CARE Court” 能把無家可歸的精神疾患與其配套的治療服務連結起來，允許家人、緊急調度員和其他人轉介病患尋求協助，並且最好是在病患可能犯罪前就採取行動。
州長表示，任由受苦的人在街頭走向滅亡是不人道的事！他非常重視家人的力量，會盡全力讓此法案通過！👏
🍻 On June 20, Elaine Peng，Executive Director of MHACC, spoke at a meeting held by Governor Newsom in support of the "CARE Court", which allows the homeless to receive psychiatric treatment. (https://www.chhs.ca.gov/care- court/)
She said: “The living environment of people with mental illness is very difficult, and some of which are heartbreaking. I hope society can become more tolerant and understanding of these vulnerable groups. Homelessness is a big problem in society. Hopefully this effort will address the many severely mentally ill individuals living on the streets and save lives that shouldn't have been lost!”
Nearly a quarter of the approximately 161,000 homeless people in California in 2020 suffer from a serious mental illness, and Elaine Peng believes that this number is actually underestimated. Mental health problems appear to be correlated with homelessness.
To alleviate this problem, the governor has proposed to spend $2 billion to provide more treatment beds and the creation of a dedicated "Mental Health Court", or “CARE Court”, in each county.
"CARE Court" connects homeless individuals suffering from mental illness with specialized treatment services. This allows families, emergency dispatchers, and others to refer these patients for assistance before the patient may possibly commit crimes.
The governor stated that it was inhumane to allow suffering people to die on the streets! He also believes that the bonds between family members are very valuable and will do his best to get this bill passed.

🍻On June 28, Elaine Peng and members of MHACC once again spoke out for the Chinese mental health caregivers.
Many of the Long Term Home Care Union (SEIU 2015) workers are caregivers to our mentally ill patients. The agreement will increase their salary by 18% in the next three years, reaching a wage of $20/hr in January 2025. This provides an opportunity for the county’s 6,000 Chinese workers to benefit while simultaneously supporting a crucial cause.
