​

Almost 20% of Asian youth said that they’re “better off dead”, while others said that they have contemplated suicide.

​

According to Toronto's Hong Fook Mental Health Association, there are seven key areas that negatively impact the mental well-being of Asian individuals in Canada:

​

- Substance use

- Social exclusion from peers and teachers

- Poor communication with parents

- Lack of coping skills

- Challenges with identity and diversity issues related to immigration experiences

- Stress about academic performance

- Mental health stigma
