  • Description: Fourteen'breakout sessions focused on a variety of topics including Asian and Asian American students'" I understanding of self-perception, self-esteem and empowerment; racial identity; reverse culture shock as an international student; pursuing non-traditional careers; Asian American masculinity; and advocacy and support for LGBTQ individuals in the community. "Due to the larger societal belief that Asian students are almost inherently born with superb intelligence, the ability to succeed and go the extra mile, many peers and student services alike don't actually think that Asian-identifying students have much that they go through," Lee adds.Because this belief rarely gets challenged, Asian and Asian American students do not voice their hardships or feel supported when they do seek help, she says.Mental health discourse around some of the challenges Asian and Asian American students face in higher education needs to shift from prevailing conversations on the pressures from the "Tiger Mom" or a student's family members for example, to become more inclusive of how stereotypes and discrimination of Asian and Asian American students also lead to mental health issues and stress.
