Contemporary clinical approaches for AAPI youth mental health across diverse populations For the Next Generation: Mental Health in Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Youth addresses the urgent need for updated clinical resources focused on the fastest-growing racial and ethnic group in the United States. Nancy H. Liu, PhD, a Fulbright Scholar and former WHO consultant specializing in cultural adaptations of evidence-based treatment, contextualizes current research within contemporary societal discourse while providing practical solutions for clinicians working with AANHPI adolescents and emerging adults. This resource examines contemporary issues previously unaddressed in clinical literature, including anti-Asian hate, intersectionality within AANHPI communities, religion and spirituality, bullying, and neurodiversity. Each chapter concludes with case studies, practical illustrations, and take-home points designed for immediate clinical application. The text reviews advances in acculturation, racial and ethnic identity development, and mental health stigma. Readers will also find: Clinical frameworks for addressing mental health stigma specific to diverse AANHPI subpopulations and their unique cultural contexts Practical strategies for working with minoritized groups within AAPI communities Evidence-based approaches adapted for cultural relevance with Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander populations Case conceptualizations demonstrating application of contemporary research to clinical practice with AANHPI youth Assessment and intervention considerations reflecting the changing demographics of the broader U.S. society For the Next Generation serves mental health professionals, clinical trainees across bachelor's through doctoral programs, educators, community leaders, and peer support providers seeking culturally informed approaches for AANHPI adolescents and emerging adults. Its interdisciplinary scope makes it relevant for courses in public health, education, anthropology, and ethnic studies.
