Our purpose is to acknowledge the high depression rates amongst Korean & Korean Americans. In our presentation, we will provide examples to articles and videos that demonstrates the needed attention and awareness. Finding ways to reach out to communities for resolutions, possibly lowering the suicide rates amongst the Korean & Korean American communities. We understand that depression is among the most common mental disorders in the U.S. No matter how conspicuously present, mental illness in Korean American families is nearly always held in secrecy, often under a cloud of denial and shame.The website’s purpose is to not only provide context but to also find aid for those struggling with various mental cases. Acknowledging that these issues gets the better of most of us but the the question is “how do we bounce back?”
