The Lotus Project has been at the forefront of advocating for mental health services that respect and integrate the unique cultural contexts of AANHPI communities. By fostering dialogue between evidence-based and community-based practices, the organization aims to create a more inclusive and effective mental health care system.

This event represents a vital step in bridging the gap between research and practical application, ensuring that mental health services are both scientifically grounded and culturally sensitive.
