 親愛的大家 🍁收件快樂
十月，是最美的季節。吹過的秋風，染紅了秋葉 🍁
秋天，也是歡慶和收穫的季節。我們在一起，剛剛渡過“歌聲唱響人生”的週年慶，現在又來到灣區的年度 NAMIWalks 健行活動。10月1日，作為隊長，我帶領 MHACC 的義工團隊到活動現場。我們在 MHACC 的攤位前，在健行的隊伍中，和來自五湖四海充滿活力的朋友們一起，為抵抗精神健康的污名化發出聲音。
🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️ 🏃♀️
由於疫情和仇恨亞裔的雙重打擊, 我們的社區受到了重創, 我們的社會需要療傷和治癒。
健行的同時也為 NAMI 和MHACC 籌款，懇請大家有力出力，慷慨解囊，積少成多，讓我們有更多的資源來幫助社區，為更美好的明天添磚蓋瓦。非常感謝 ❤️
這個秋天，讓我們攜手並肩一起渡過！

The crimson leaves of fall are one of the reasons why October is the most beautiful month of the year.
Celebrations and harvest festivals are common in the autumn season. We have recently celebrated together the one-year anniversary of "Sing A Song" and are now participating in the yearly NAMIWalks in the San Francisco Bay Area. On October 1st, as captain of the MHACC team, I led a group of friends and people from all around the world on a hike to raise awareness about mental illness and combat mental health stigma.
Because of the pandemic and anti-Asian hate, our community has been ravaged, and now must heal and carry on.
We are fundraising for NAMI and MHACC during our hike. In order to support the community and make a difference in the future, we need everyone's help and generosity.
Let's enjoy autumn together, hand in hand.

歌聲暢享人生 🎵Sing A Song
9月23日，為慶祝美國華裔精神健康聯盟 MHACC 的公益健康項目 🎵歌聲暢享人生 “Sing A Song” 欄目創辦一周年，MHACC的執行長彭一玲女士，主持人 Claudia，和老師男高音赵夏阳，在湾区周边的公園和歌友們歡聚一起，用歌聲和舞蹈自由暢談，感恩這一年多來的陪伴。
🎂 🎂 🎂 🎂 🎂
分享“歌聲暢享人生”的小故事：有位媽媽的抑鬱症女兒一直不肯出房門。這個媽媽每週二參加“歌聲暢享人生”Zoom活動時，就在女兒房間外面播放。這樣堅持兩個月後，女兒開始願意出來和她坐著一起聽這些歌聲，媽媽高興得不行。
還有一位歌友，被歌聲暢享人生調動起來了興致，每天傍晚他都想唱，越唱越有勁，讓曾經有輕生念頭的他得到很大的鼓舞。
所以，歌聲暢享人生，不是簡單的唱歌娛樂的活動，而是一個治愈甚至拯救生命的項目。
轉夏陽老師的話：我受邀主持歌聲暢享人生已經整整一年了，五十多個星期二我沒有因故缺席過一次，可見我對這項工作的喜愛。更讓我感動的是，許多人在疫情期間心情鬱悶，我的音樂講座幫助他們化解了煩惱，情緒得到了安撫和治愈。音樂講座雖然只有短短的30 分鐘，但內容卻豐富多彩：有呼吸練習，發聲練習，介紹音樂作品的作者演唱者以及其他背景知識，分析作品的音樂特點並嘗試用不同的方法現場演唱或者演奏該歌曲，有時也會邀請現場觀眾出來獻唱互動交流，使得大家在輕鬆愉快的環境中得到學習和治愈，所以一年來，我們的觀眾不減反增！

The first anniversary of the Sing A Song column, a mental health program of MHACC, was celebrated on September 23 with free-flowing conversations, singing, and dancing in the district park with Elaine Peng, Claudia (the program host), and tenor teacher Zhao Xiayang.
Stories concerning "Sing A Song": A depressed daughter has been hiding out in her room for weeks. Her mother plays it outside her daughter's room on Tuesdays as she attends her weekly "Sing A Song" meeting. After persisting for two months, to her mother’s joy, the daughter began to be willing to come out and sit with her to listen to these songs.
“Sing a Song” helped lift the spirits of another participant who was feeling depressed. The more he sang, the stronger he felt his voice become. When he was suicidal, “Sing A Song” was a great source of inspiration for him.
"Sing A Song" is more than just an entertainment event; it is a life-saving and life-enhancing initiative.
A few words from Mr. Chao: It's a testament to my passion to the job that I've been asked to teach "Sing A Song" for an entire year without missing a single session. What touched me even more was hearing how my music lecture helped many of those who had been suffering from depression throughout the pandemic. The music lecture is only 30 minutes long, but it is packed with information about breathing exercises, vocal exercises, an introduction to the composer, performer, and other context for the piece, an analysis of the music's unique qualities, and a variety of live performance strategies. Live audiences are occasionally encouraged to sing along and engage in conversation during performances of this song, creating an atmosphere where people may learn from one another and heal together. Since then, we have seen a rise, not a fall, in readership.
歡迎大家加入“歌聲暢享人生” - Singing Shines Your Life！

MHACC will also be setting up a booth there. Encourage your friends and family to come and join the movement!
Since the beginning of the 2020 pandemic in the United States, crimes of prejudice and hatred towards Chinese Americans and Asian Pacific Americans in the country (particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area) have resurfaced. There were 11,467 reports of AAPI hostility between March 19 and March 31, 2022.
MHACC and overseas Chinese/Asian-Pacific groups coordinated a series of major anti-Asian hatred marches, demonstrations, and fundraising events to aid victims and their families. These events are documented in the "Anti-Hate and Violence" photo exhibition. The narrative of a community's efforts to maintain order on one side. With the help of visual arts, our goal is to encourage Asian Americans to gather together and grow stronger as a whole.

10月是 ADHD 意識月
十月也是 ADHD（注意力缺陷/多動障礙） 意識月。
Kai 是一個 22 歲的亞裔大男孩。因為總是坐立不安，無法專心，不能按時完成作業，他從小就被貼上頑皮搗蛋，不愛學習的標籤，成為一個被邊緣化的問題孩子。Kai 的理想是當一個喜劇演員，但這彷彿是一個遙不可及的夢。因為他認為自己很笨，缺乏自信。面對迷茫前途，Kai 焦慮而徬徨。直到被診斷出患有多動症，Kai 才鬆了一口氣。
未確診的 ADHD 會對一個人造成很大的傷害，帶來嚴重的自我懷疑。這是為什麼呢？
在過去的很多年 ADHD 一直被認為是一種行為障礙。ADHD 的孩子被貼上愚笨懶惰貪玩等負面標籤。直到 1982 年以後，人們才知道 ADHD 是一種大腦功能障礙。在 ADHD 的大腦神經細胞之間起聯繫作用的化學遞質不能有效的釋放和加載，導致思考、學習、感受和與他人的關係中行為“異常”。於是，人們使用多動症的藥物幫助調節這些功能。但藥物的作用始終有限，也不能完全“治癒”，恢復“正常”。
但是，如果我們根本不需要“治愈”或“正常”呢？ 根據最近的研究，大腦神經細胞的連結並沒有一個量化的標準，每個大腦都不同。ADHD 可以說是一個神經發散性，或者神經多樣性 (Neuro Divergence / Diversity) 的問題。
所以，管理多動症不是一刀切的方法，它需要個性化。了解你思維方式，找到適合你的學習方式，識別觸發因素，學習情緒調節，評估你的優勢，才能充分發揮大腦的潛能。
重要的是，努力放下羞恥和自責。這不是你的錯，你的困難和努力都是真實的。我們每一個人都在神經多樣性的光譜中。
🧠 🧠 🧠 🧠 🧠
October is considered ADHD（Attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder）awareness month.
Kai is a 22-year-old Asian boy. Since he was a child, he's been characterized as a naughty delinquent who doesn't want to study as well as a neglected problem child due to his restlessness, inability to concentrate, and struggles to complete things on time. Kai's long-term goal is to become a comedian, but he feared a dismal future since he thought he was simply unintelligent and lacked self-confidence. However, when he was finally diagnosed with ADHD, Kai felt a wave of relief wash over him.
Undiagnosed ADHD can generate self-doubt. Why?
ADHD was once considered a behavioral condition. Children with ADHD are often labeled as stupid, lazy, and troublesome. After 1982, people understood ADHD as a neurological disorder. In ADHD, brain chemical transmitters don't release and reload effectively, causing "abnormal" thinking, learning, feeling, and interpersonal behavior. ADHD medications control these functions, but they don't "cure" or make things "normal" again.
What if we don’t need to "cure" those with ADHD at all? According to recent studies, each brain's connectivity between nerve cells is unique. ADHD is only a result of neurodiversity.
ADHD needs to be treated with a customized strategy, not a one-size-fits-all attitude. Realizing your full potential requires consideration of the way you think, your triggers, emotional regulation, and an analysis of your unique skills.
We must leave behind shame and self-blame. Your struggles and efforts are real. We are all of the different neurodiversity.

歷史里程碑 - 為紀念亞裔受害人而更改街名
2022 年 10 月 1 日, 為了紀念 Vicha Ratanapakdee 以及最近在全國各地遭受亞裔和太平洋島民 (AAPI) 仇恨暴力的無數其他受害者，舊金山 Anza Vista 社區的 Sonora Lane 更名為 “Vicha Ratanapakdee Way''
Vicha Ratanapakdee 是一名 84 歲的泰裔長者，2021年1月，他在該街道白天散步時被暴徒強行推倒在地而死亡。事件隨即引發了亞裔社區的強烈憤怒。經過各個社區組織和活動家的努力，才有了現在的為紀念受害人而更改街名的行動。
“我們希望新的街道名稱能夠提醒後代，針對亞太裔，特別是長者的暴力行為在我們的社會中沒有立足之地。並且，這個儀式將激勵社區及其領導人採取行動制止反亞裔暴力和種族主義 ” Vicha Ratanapakdee 的女兒在儀式上發言。
著名的韓裔演員，導演和社會活動家 Daniel Dae Kim 也特地打飛的來到活動現場，一年多來，Kim 為了這個歷史性改變四處奔走，出了很大的力。
🚥 🚥 🚥 🚥 🚥
San Francisco's Sonora Lane in the Anza Vista neighborhood was renamed "Vicha Ratanapakdee Way" on October 1, 2022, in memory of Vicha Ratanapakdee and the countless other victims of recent Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) violence across the country. This commemorates a major turning point in history!
As he walked along the street during the day in January 2021, 84-year-old Thai senior Vicha Ratanapakdee was violently pushed to the ground and killed by rioters. The Asian-American community was quick to express its outrage after the incident.
Violence against Asian Americans, especially the elderly, has no place in our society, and we hope the new street name will serve as a reminder to future generations. As Vicha Ratanapakdee's daughter declares: "This event will inspire the community and its leaders to take action to eradicate anti-Asian violence and racism."
Daniel Dae Kim, a well-known Korean actor, director, and social activist, also made an appearance. Kim has been tirelessly working on this momentous shift for almost a year now.
让我们重温Kim 當時的慷慨陈词 Let us recall Kim's kind words from back then:

美國華裔精神健康聯盟為被害司機籌款
華裔網的司機馮幹今年7月在奧克蘭的小西貢被槍殺，美國華裔精神健康聯盟MHACC和奧克蘭唐人街改善委員會 (OCIC)，亞裔美國人基金會（TAAF）、亞洲健康服務社一起，為受害人家屬籌得超過10萬的善款，來自社會各界的一千七百多個捐贈者。
9月28日，OCIC 主席莊錦鎮（Stewart Chen）在送善款給馮幹家人的儀式上說：我一再問自己，槍械暴力何時才會停止？我們需要符合常識的槍械管制。我希望以後不要在有這樣的捐款，但萬一社區有需要的話，我們一定會挺身而出！
馮幹的家人則表示，感謝社區的愛心和溫暖，這筆錢幫助到他們很多，希望傷痛會慢慢消失。

Chinese American Network driver Feng Gan was fatally shot in Oakland's Little Saigon neighborhood in July. The victim‘s family was assisted by MHACC, OCIC, the Asian American Foundation (TAAF), and the Asian Health Service. Over a hundred thousand dollars have been donated to the victim's family members, and over one thousand seven hundred different people have contributed.
At a ceremony to deliver funds to Feng Gan's family on September 28, OCIC Chairman Stewart Chen said, "I have frequently asked myself, when will gun violence stop?" Rational gun control is needed. I really hope that no more similar donations would be necessary in the future, but if the community ever has a need, we will be there to help!
The family of Feng Gan wanted to thank the neighborhood for their support. They were able to pay bills and put food on the table, and with time, they hoped, the pain would fade.

⚖️ ⚖️ ⚖️ ⚖️ ⚖️
On September 14, California Governor Newsom signed the "CARE Court" bill. The Governor's Office's Twitter account shared a video of the story of MHACC Director Elaine Peng.
CARE Court can give the community support, structure, and help needed to preserve lives for many families going through similar circumstances as Elaine Peng’s family.
CARE Court is a compassionate program that will help the most vulnerable Californians suffering from severe mental illness and substance use disorders access the services and support they need before they fall into crisis.
Hope is here!

Alan Hu Foundation Mental Health Lecture Series:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression in Youth: Pathways to Progress
By Professor Robert Friedberg, PhD (Palo Alto University)
In northern California, there are only 205 hospital beds for adolescent mental patients. In "prosperous" northern California, there are only 29-30 beds for 100,000 people, 60% of the CDC requirement for the country.
The pandemic brought spikes in anxiety, depression, and suicides. The possibility of real war (regarding Ukrainians and Russians) will only worsen the mental health of many individuals.
Dr. Friedberg gives a wonderful speech for people to pass on to others in order to educate one other about depression, anxiety, and procrastination.
