Asian American Group

We hope this group is a place of belonging. We have found that many Asian Americans wrestle with their identity: they are not Asian enough and not American enough. It can be very lonely.

In this group, we create a safe and supportive environment for you to share your story as an Asian in America. Understanding that we are not isolated in our struggles helps us connect with others. In this group, we invite you to bravely share and be vulnerable, which allows each person to emotionally connect with others in the group.

We spend time grieving together; we heal with the help of others in the group. We learn compassion for ourselves, for others, and for those family members who may have hurt us unintentionally. We learn together to name our losses and release them as a group.

For more details, contact rcs@redeemer.com.

Group Facilitator:
Charlene Wang, M.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling

"The group has been a safe space that has allowed me to feel validated in so many experiences that have often left me feeling isolated and shamed throughout much of my life, especially in a culture that often encourages secrets for the sake of self-preservation of the family. The simple act of hearing that other AAPI women experience something similar has been so healing and life transforming."

— Mindy, Group Member

We will cover topics such as:

  • Exploring your Asian American identity

  • Learning vulnerability and emotional connection

  • Problems of assimilation

  • Family immigration history, generational trauma

  • Managing family conflicts

  • Healthy boundaries with family and at work

  • Managing the pressure of caring for parents

  • Inter-racial dating and bi-racial marriage

  • Raising the next generation, what kind of parents do we want to be?
