API-phany (“Epiphany”): Lifting Each Other Up Through Community

A process/support group for self-identified Asian American female and non-binary students to connect, support and create space with one another within a predominately white institution. Common themes that may be discussed include, but are not limited to, mental health concerns and stressors related to racial trauma; microaggressions; imposter syndrome and feelings of belonging on the CU campus; growing up bicultural or second-generation and balancing being in two worlds; intergenerational trauma and familial conflicts; drastic increase of anti-Asian hate and violence as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
