Mental Health Needs in the Filipino Community: Call for Participants

We are inviting youth ages 16-30 to join the conversation about the mental health needs in the Filipino Community. Each conversation café will be about 2.5 hours long, with 15 to 21 participants in each cafe. A light meal will be provided. Participants will also receive an honorarium (gift card) to thank them for participating in our study.

You must be between 16 and 30 years old, identify as Filipino/a/x, and live in British Columbia to participate. If you live in Greater Vancouver, you must be able to attend the conversation café in person. If you live outside of Vancouver, you must have access to the internet to participate online and agree to join the session from a space that has visual and audio privacy. You must also agree to turn on your camera at the start of the conversation café to confirm your identity.

If interested, please contact carla.hilario@ubc.ca
