由美國華裔電影人黃偉治執導/編寫/製作的電影《Dealing With Dad》，根據黃導和父親親身走過抑鬱症的經歷改編。 

電影探討了一個在溝通、期望和接受方面苦苦掙扎的亞裔美國家庭。深入表現了抑鬱症這個嚴重的心理健康問題，它不僅會影響個人，也會影響他們所愛的人。 電影還顯示了抑鬱症如何受到文化因素的影響，例如羞恥感和否認。

電影挑戰了一些關於亞洲家庭的刻板印象和假設，比如嚴厲的父親、順從的母親和聽話的孩子。 它還描繪了亞裔美國人經歷和身份的多樣性和個性。

電影將會在加州多地演出：

4 月 16 日下午 3點和 4月 18日下午 6:30pm Oakland 的新百匯劇院

4 月 21 日至 27 日整整一周在Cerritos 和Chino Hills 的Harkins戲院

並計劃 5 月在聖何塞放映，6 月下旬在舊金山放映（具體時間未定）

“Dealing With Dad” is directed/written/produced by Tom Huang, a Chinese-American filmmaker, based on Huang’s and his father’s personal experience with depression. The film explores the complex dynamics of an Asian-American family that struggles with communication, expectations, and acceptance. The film portrays the serious mental health issue of depression, which affects not only individuals but also their loved ones. “Dealing With Dad” also shows how depression is influenced by cultural factors, such as shame and denial. The film challenges some stereotypes and assumptions about Asian families, such as strict fathers, obedient mothers, and obedient children. It also depicts the diversity and individuality of Asian-American experiences. 

The film will be shown in various places in California: 

April 16 at 3 pm and April 18 at 6:30 pm - New Parkway Theater in Oakland. 

April 21 to 27 for a week at Harkins theaters in Cerritos and Chino Hills. 

It is also planned to screen in San Jose in May and in San Francisco in late June (a specific time to be determined). 

We look forward to the participation and support of Chinese Directors. Please keep in mind the challenges of Chinese families.

CARE Act 是加州的一項新法律，為遭受無家可歸或監禁而得不到治療的，受到創傷最嚴重的加州人提供心理健康和藥物濫用障礙的服務。

CARE Court 是一個富有同情心的民事法庭程序，為參與者提供一套配合臨床治療、基於社區的服務和支持，這些服務和支持同時具有文化和語言的敏感性。 CARE Court 允許法官對符合特定標準（例如反复住院或逮捕）的嚴重精神疾病患者下令進行社區門診治療。

CARE Court 是全國首創的框架，旨在幫助患有未經治療的精神病患者恢復健康。 它得到了該州前所未有的資金支持，用於解決無家可歸、心理健康計劃以及健康服務的勞動力問題。

The CARE Act is a new law in California that creates a new pathway to deliver mental health and substance use disorder services to the most severely impaired Californians who too often suffer in homelessness or incarceration without treatment.

The CARE Court is a compassionate civil court process that provides participants with a clinically appropriate, community-based set of services and supports that are culturally and linguistically competent. It allows judges to order community-based outpatient treatment for people with serious mental illness who meet certain criteria, such as repeated hospitalizations or arrests.

The CARE Court is a first-in-the-nation framework to empower individuals suffering from untreated psychosis to get healthy1. It is supported by unprecedented funding from the state for addressing homelessness, mental health programs, and health and human services workforce

今年春節時發生的北加州月半灣槍擊事件給華人社區帶來了巨大的衝擊。MHACC 在事件後持續在為有需要的人群提供心理健康支持。

下面的文章來自 Chang Kiraly，她是NAMI 聖馬特奧縣分會的董事會主席。她指出，亞裔在尋求心理健康服務時會遇到許多特殊的困難和阻礙，比如：社會偏見、文化差異、語言障礙和資源匱乏。

她呼籲社區行動起來，關心和幫助亞裔的心理健康，尤其是那些直接或間接受到槍擊案影響的人。她提供了一些具體的建議，例如：

- 主動詢問你的亞裔親友，傾聽他們的感受和經歷，不要對他們進行評判或否定。

- 學習和了解美國亞裔和太平洋島民（AAPI）的歷史和多樣性，打破刻板印象和誤解。

- 當你看到或遭受反亞裔的種族主義和歧視時，勇敢地發聲並採取行動。

- 向或志願為為AAPI社區提供心理健康服務和倡導的組織捐款或做義工。

- 如果你或你認識的人面臨著心理健康問題（如抑鬱、焦慮、創傷或自殺想法），請及時尋求專業幫助。

The Half Moon Bay shooting incident that occurred during chinese new year brought a huge impact to the Chinese community. MHACC has been providing mental health support to those in need after the incident. 

The following article is from Chang Kiraly, who is Board President of NAMI San Mateo County Chapter. She says that Asians face unique challenges and barriers to accessing mental health care, such as stigma, cultural differences, language barriers, and lack of representation and resources.

She urges the community to take action to support the mental health and well-being of Asians, especially those who are directly or indirectly affected by the shootings. She suggests some ways to do so, such as:

- Checking in on your Asian friends and family and listening to their feelings and experiences without judgment or invalidation.

- Educating yourself and others about the history and diversity of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) and challenging stereotypes and myths.

- Speaking up and taking action against anti-Asian racism and discrimination whenever you witness or experience it.

- Donating to or volunteering with organizations that provide mental health services and advocacy for AAPI communities.

- Seeking professional help if you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or suicidal thoughts.
