This book confronts the overlooked mental health challenges within one of the largest Asian American subgroups in the United States.
Although Korean Americans are often characterized as a "model minority" due to high levels of academic and professional achievement, this book reveal a more complex reality marked by issues such as depression, suicide, substance abuse, and trauma. The contributors compellingly link these concerns to the intersecting forces of cultural stigma and racial discrimination, arguing that mainstream mental health systems frequently fail to address the specific needs of the Korean American community. Cultural values that emphasize family honor and social cohesion can discourage individuals from seeking help, reinforcing silence around mental health struggles. Drawing on existing research and statistical evidence, chapters highlight the disproportionate burden of these issues while also noting the limited attention they have received in both scholarship and practice. The book concludes by offering recommendations for culturally competent care, program development, and policy reform tailored to Korean American experiences, making it essential for practitioners and policymakers rethinking how mental health care is delivered in diverse societies.
