 親愛的大家，收件快樂 💐
從 2022 年 7月 16 日開始，每個美國人都可以撥打 988，這個最新的自殺和危機生命熱線🔥，聯繫到訓練有素的危機顧問，幫助您解決心理危機、藥物濫用或自殺的問題。
很多時候，缺乏強大的心理健康危機系統會導致悲慘的結果。 2015 年至 2020 年間，四分之一的致命警察槍擊事件涉及患有精神疾病的人，大約 44% 的被監禁者有精神健康問題，患有精神疾病的人被登記入獄的數量全國每年約有 200 萬次。
我們認為，處於心理健康危機中的人應該得到的是專業人士的幫助和適當及時的護理，而不是被執法部門當作犯人對待。處於心理健康危機中的人應該得到的是更人道，更有尊嚴地對待。
心理健康支持者們遵循的白金經驗法則是：
“以他人希望被對待的方式對待他們”
美國華裔精神健康聯盟 執行長
Elaine Peng 彭一玲 敬上 🙏
Beginning July 16, 2022, anyone nationwide can call 988, the newest suicide and crisis life hotline 🔥. By doing this, you can connect with a trained crisis counselor who can help you with mental health, substance abuse, or suicidal thoughts.
Too often, the lack of an effective and immediate response system leads to tragic outcomes. Between 2015 and 2020, one in four fatal police shootings involved a person with a mental illness. About 44% of individuals incarcerated have experienced mental health problems. People with mental illness are incarcerated around 2 million times every year.
We believe that people undergoing mental health crises deserve professional help and timely care rather than being treated like criminals by law enforcement. Humane and dignified treatment is necessary in crisis intervention,The platinum rule of thumb: "Treat others the way they want to be treated."
Elaine Peng, Executive Director & Founder

 同伴支持課程畢業 Peer Support Specialists
經過 2 個多月的學習和訓練，MHACC的第二期“同伴支持 - Peer Support Specialists” 課程的學員們於7月畢業了🎓
同伴支持者課程包括各種精神健康的康復技能，心理危機的急救，自我護理，非暴力溝通技巧，同理心，尊重和傾聽等訓練。通過這個課程的學員們可以參加加州政府的統一考核：https://www.capeercertification.org，成為認證的同伴支持者-Peer Support Specialists。
同伴支持者們是已經康復的心理健康患友或者有同樣經歷的家屬。 因為走過了同樣的心路，他們能更好地理解患者和家屬的痛苦。憑藉著克服自身心理健康問題所獲得的知識，並結合在課程培訓中學到的各種專業技能，他們可以為其他陷入困境的人帶來希望和支持！
After more than 2 months of training, the trainees of MHACC's second phase of "Peer Support Specialists" graduated in July.
The Peer Supporter course includes training in a variety of mental health recovery skills, mental health first aid, self-care, nonviolent communication skills, empathy, respect, and listening skills, etc. Peer supporters who have graduated from the training may go to this website for the state government license assessment: https://www.capeercertification.org/
Peer support specialists are often mental health patients who have recovered or family members who have experienced the same hardships. Because they have walked the same path, they can better understand the pain of patients and their families. With personal knowledge gained from overcoming their own mental health issues and combined with various professional skills learned in the course training, they can bring hope and support to other struggling individuals.
 七夕夏日街會
7月30日，因為疫情停辦了2年半的屋崙華埠的「七夕夏日街會」迎來了一萬多熱情高漲的遊客們，大家在這個浪漫的節日裡鑼鼓喧天、瑞獅起舞。街會上有70多個攤位，各種風味美食、手工藝品，疫苗接種，免費醫療，資訊服務等應有盡有🦁️
MHACC的義工們也在我們的攤位上為市民們提供熱心的心理健康資訊 ❤️
屋崙華促會主辦、美國華裔精神健康聯盟（MHACC）協辦的兩個專題攝影展：《打破沉默 停止仇視》、《鏡頭下的中華文化》成為街會上最亮麗的風景線 📹
MHACC的執行長彭一玲說，這些大型照片不但是震撼人心的藝術作品，而且，鏡頭記載下的每一份文化傳承，能帶來一種喜悅和滿足，讓我們為華裔美國人的身份而驕傲，為我們擁有的文化而自豪！🐼
提到在疫情期間亞裔社區面對歧視、暴力的團結與抗爭的歷程。她說：“當你目睹不公正和暴行的時候，請站出來反對它，說點什麼。因為當我們保持沉默的時候，暴力仍在繼續。” 👊
On July 30th, Oakland Chinatown’s "Qixi Summer Street Fair”, which had been suspended for three years due to the pandemic, welcomed more than 10,000 enthusiastic tourists. During this romantic festival, gongs and drums rang loud and lions danced. More than 70 booths lined the streets, carrying all kinds of delicious food and handicrafts, even providing vaccinations, free medical care, information services and so on.
MHACC volunteers also provided mental health information to the Chinese community at our personal booth.
The two thematic photography exhibitions, "Break the Silence, Stop the Hatred" and "Chinese Culture Through the Lens", became the most beautiful scenery on the street. These exhibitions were sponsored by the Oakland China Promotion Association and co-organized by the Mental Health Alliance of Chinese Americans (MHACC).
Elaine Peng, the director of MHACC, says that these large-scale photos are not only shocking works of art, but also pieces of our cultural heritage that can bring a kind of joy and peace, garnering pride in our identity as Chinese Americans. We are proud of our culture!
Elaine Peng emphasizes the the Asian community's solidarity and struggle against discrimination during the pandemic. "When you witness injustice and brutality, stand up against it and say something. Because while we are silent, the violence continues," she says.

 UCA全國大會和青年大會
2022 年 7 月 14 日，美國華人聯合會 (UCA) 在華盛頓特區舉辦了第三屆大會，以及第一屆 UCA 青年全國大會。從會見國會議員到心理健康專家，今年的大會重點彰顯華裔美國人在他們各自社區所做出的貢獻。在 WAVES 心理健康小組会议期间，围绕華人和華人社區对心理健康资源的需求进行了讨论，同时還讨论了如何把社區的力量團結在一起以消除心理健康污名化。
今年，MHACC 在UCA大會設立了一個展位，以提高人們對其心理健康計劃和 2 款新開發的應用程序的認識（MiSunshine 和 UrSpace）。在閉幕式上，Elaine Peng 因她為社區做出的廣泛而巨大的幫助而獲獎 ㊗️
本次UCA 大會取得了巨大的成功，大會将全美不同背景的華裔聚集在一起，群策群力，為提升整個華裔社區而努力。
On July 14, 2022, United Chinese Americans (UCA) hosted their 3rd convention in Washington, DC, but this was the first time hosting their first-ever UCA Youth National Convention. From meeting district representatives to mental health panels, this year's convention focused on highlighting the works of Chinese Americans in their own communities as well as informational panels. During the WAVES Mental Health Panel, discussions surrounding the need for mental health resources for and in the Chinese were held alongside what it means for a community to come together in order to destigmatize the discussion about mental health.
This year, MHACC hosted a booth at the UCA Showcase to raise awareness of their mental health programs and 2 newly developed mental health apps: MiSunshine and UrSpace. At the closing ceremony, Elaine Peng received an award for her extensive and tremendous help in contributing to her community.
Overall, this year’s UCA Convention was a huge success in bringing people of all backgrounds together whilst uplifting an entire community of people dedicated to positive change.
