What Asian American youth need to thrive
Stereotypes around being academically gifted and inclined are hurting Asian and Asian American students.
We know that young people have been dealing with a lot of challenges socially, emotionally and mentally since the pandemic. It’s taken them away from environments that help foster those skills, so now many of them are falling behind.
Oftentimes, Asian and Asian American kids are viewed as students that academically excel. This can lead to them being left behind. So, how are the youth supporting themselves and how are adults in their lives supporting them?
