Resources Amidst Recent Mass Shootings

February 1, 2023

Just days after the tragedy in Monterey Park, we are shocked and extremely saddened to learn of the mass shooting in Half Moon Bay. We mourn the loss and injury of all the victims and those who have been touched by this tragedy. The Lunar New Year is a time meant for celebration and joy.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Organization (SAMHSA) and the National Network to Eliminate Disparities in Behavioral Health (NNED) mourn these losses and understand the mental health implications for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. As these communities work toward healing, we would like to provide some resources:

  • AANHPI Resources
    • AANHPI In-Language Resource List – This list provides resources on safety planning, domestic violence, COVID-19, and more.
    • Asian American and Pacific Islander Resources on Discrimination, Anti-Asian Racism, and Trauma – NNED offers a compiled list of resources for AAPI communities facing anti-Asian hate, violence, and trauma.
