Managing Isolation & Peer Pressure within the Chinese Community w. Leo Lee | CONNECTED

Hello to all of our phenomenal viewers, listeners, and supporters. I am your host PodcastBri and I am so excited to be here. If you are a new audience member, we are so grateful to have you. Welcome to another episode of “CONNECTED,” where we discuss all things mental health, recovery, employment, and stories. Before we dive in, this episode is sponsored by Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services & John Muir.
On our next seven episodes, CONNECTED will be focused on the BIPOC Community sharing personal anecdotes, facts, and awareness from specialists around the Bay Area.

Today’s guest is from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (or NAMI) here in Contra Costa County. Leo Li specializes in the Transitional Age Youth program advocating for individuals between the ages of 16 and 29 experiencing specific socio-cultural challenges. Leo arrived in America in 2018 seeking education, personal growth, and exploring a new culture and since has made a world of difference. Here in the Bay Area, 27% of residents identify as Asian American or Pacific Islander. Of those 27% many struggle with social pressures, isolation, and language barriers. Leo is here to share his experience with us. Welcome Leo.
