Book excerpt: This study looked at the effects of a 12-week psychoeducation "Sunday School" course on general mental health issues on help seeking attitudes among Chinese American members of a large, dominantly Chinese American church. When compared to other Sunday School classes, and controlling for pre-course attitudes, the psychoeducation course was associated with more favorable attitudes toward mental health help seeking at the completion of the course. No difference was found between Sunday School courses in their impact on reported likelihood to seek pastoral or professional mental health help for oneself or to recommend it to others. At baseline, this study found that age, spirituality, and Asian values related to recommending that others seek help. Older participants were more likely to recommend that others seek pastoral and professional help. Spirituality was positively correlated with pastoral help seeking for self and others, and higher adherence to Asian values was positively correlated with recommendation for others to seek pastoral help. There were, however, limitations to the measures and design that reduced the chances of obtaining further findings. Future directions for Asian American help seeking research are discussed.

Book excerpt: With “groundbreaking research on the psychology of resilience” (Adam Grant), a top expert on human trauma argues that we vastly overestimate how common PTSD is in and fail to recognize how resilient people really are. After 9/11, mental health professionals flocked to New York to handle what everyone assumed would be a flood of trauma cases. Oddly, the flood never came. In The End of Trauma, pioneering psychologist George A. Bonanno argues that we failed to predict the psychological response to 9/11 because most of what we understand about trauma is wrong. For starters, it’s not nearly as common as we think. In fact, people are overwhelmingly resilient to adversity. What we often interpret as PTSD are signs of a natural process of learning how to deal with a specific situation. We can cope far more effectively if we understand how this process works. Drawing on four decades of research, Bonanno explains what makes us resilient, why we sometimes aren’t, and how we can better handle traumatic stress. Hopeful and humane, The End of Trauma overturns everything we thought we knew about how people respond to hardship.

Book excerpt: Does Mental Health Literacy Predict Help- Seeking Behaviors Among Depressed Asian International Students? Da Hwin Kim Emma C. McWhorter Linda G. Castillo Department of Educational Psychology, Texas A&M University, USA ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine whether Asian international students’ mental health literacy predicts mental health help-seeking behaviors above and beyond known influencing factors. Hierarchical logistic regression was conducted in analyzing a national sample of 460 Asian international students who reported depressive symptomatology. Results indicated that students who identified as female and experienced more days of academic impairment were more likely to seek counseling. Additionally, having more knowledge on mental disorders and treatments and campus mental health services were positively related to helpseeking behavior. However, the ability to recognize the development of mental disorders in others was negatively associated with seeking mental health help. Implications for administrators, college program planners, and mental health providers are discussed. Keywords: Asian, college students, help-seeking, international students, mental health literacy

This book was released on 2020 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The model minority stereotype and Asian cultural values stigmatize mental health difficulties and mental health treatment seeking. As such, Asian/Asian Americans (AAs) may not seek out treatments despite psychological distress. One population at-risk for experiencing negative outcomes due to delayed, or no, treatment is AA college students. To date, research has explored factors that influence formal help-seeking (e.g., therapy, counseling) for mental health needs among AA college students. However, little is known regarding the prevalence and correlates of informal help-seeking behaviors (e.g., peers, roommates, family member, significant other) among AA college students. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to examine informal help-seeking for mental health difficulties among the AA college student population. Secondary data from The Healthy Minds Study 2017-2018 was analyzed using both descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Results showed mental health symptoms were prevalent among AA college students. A greater presence of informal mental health help-seeking behavior was found compared to formal mental health help-seeking. Perceived self-stigma, perceived need, knowledge/awareness of outreach campus services, belief in efficacy for medication, belief in efficacy of therapy, peer/family use of services were significantly associated with Any Informal use. Findings provided a more complete understanding of service utilization and may help to facilitate prevention and intervention efforts among AA college students.
