Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Healing, Empowerment, Awareness, & Resilience Toolbox (HEART)

In response to the increase in hate incidents over the last few years, we recognize the urgent need for accessible and effective resources to aid those navigating the impacts of discrimination and violence.

​

We have gathered free behavioral health resources to support Asian American (AA), Native Hawaiian (NH), and Pacific Islander (PI) communities affected by hate incidents. â€‹Resources featured in the toolbox were reviewed by members of the AANHPI HEART Workgroup. Each item was evaluated using standardized criteria to ensure quality and appropriateness.

 

This will not be a static entity, but rather a “living” toolbox to which we will add relevant resources as they become available. If you would like to share a resource to be featured on the toolbox, please fill out the following form.

The HEART Toolbox for the AANHPI communities was developed through a public-private partnership of federal agencies, academic researchers, behavioral health practitioners, AANHPI advocates and associations, and people with lived experience.  The Toolbox is hosted on the National Asian American Pacific Islander Mental Health Association website.  It is a compendium of tools, strategies, and resources to assist communities in responding to anti-AANHPI hate and violence and maintaining a personal sense of safety and well-being.
