Summary

This study's overarching aim is to evaluate a new psychoeducation and process group for Asian and Asian American psychiatric outpatients. This is a 12 week mental health group which will focus on both educational content related to Asian mental health as well as increasing connection between group members. We hypothesize that participants in the group will experience a decrease in psychiatric symptoms at the conclusion of the group compared to their symptoms at the beginning of group. We also hypothesize that participants will feel more socially connected after the group.

Psychoeducation and Process Group for Asian and Asian American Psychiatric Outpatients

Participants will be individuals enrolling in a 1.5 hour weekly therapy group lasting 12 weeks and will be invited to participate in research on group processes and outcomes. The psychoeducation and process group will be a 12-session weekly closed group with 10-15 participants per group (2-3 groups total) conducted via Zoom to enhance accessibility and reduce barriers to care. Groups will be co-led by licensed clinical psychologists with experience providing both group psychotherapy and culturally responsive services. Group sessions will include brief check-ins, collaborative agenda-setting, a mini-didactic, individual reflection, and group discussion. The didactics curriculum will include topics such as intergenerational trauma, cultural differences in emotional expression, the model minority myth, family dynamics, racism, and positive connections to culture.
