[AAPI Heritage Month Mental Health Awareness Month] 🌟 Partner Spotlight 🌟 With a shortage of access to culturally competent mental health services, JLF often hears about community based organizations filling in the gaps and on the frontlines of making referrals for mental health services. Oakland Trybe (https://lnkd.in/gf9GbdUk), led by Andrew Park, works to break the cycle of violence through supporting youth and families, by providing healing circles, violence interruption, food security, youth programming. The “Y” in Trybe stands for youth as they are the ones at the center of the work and serving. Andrew recently won the CBS Jefferson Award (highlighted in video). A profile on one of Trybe’s violence interruption leaders, Church T, is hope amidst brokenness. “A violence interrupter is pretty much a pastor, a peacemaker, a therapist, a friend, and family all in one,” Truehill said. When Church’s second family member was lost to gun violence, he took some months off work, and was able to see a Trybe therapist at different points who reached out at least once a week to check on him. “When his father died, with family close, the therapists and support from the DVP network, he was in a much better place.” For link to full church T article and photos: https://lnkd.in/ecgVV9PS VIDEO CREDIT: CBS News Bay Area JLIN LLC

Building bridges, fostering solidarity, and envisioning a brighter tomorrow. We stand proudly behind the stellar work carried out by the Jeremy Lin Foundation in partnership with The Asian American Foundation. Our recent endeavor, the Stronger Together Collaborative, is a testimony to the power of unity, understanding, and collaborative effort. In support of 9 dedicated community-rooted organizations, we facilitated a space where underserved AAPI youth in NYC could come together to share, learn, and forge stronger bonds with other communities of color. Through open dialogues and educational workshops spearheaded by the @buildingmovementproject, we are nurturing a ground where solidarity is not just a word, but a lived experience. Take a moment to witness the inspiring journey of these young individuals, a journey where every step is a stride towards a future steeped in mutual respect and collective strength. It's more than a project; it's a movement towards a society where we are, indeed, #StrongerTogether. Let us build a future where we rise, united. #AAPI #CommunityBuilding #Solidarity #FutureLeaders
