Undoing Racism® Community Organizing Workshop – CEs Available!
April 24-26, 2026
5-8pm, Friday
9-5pm, Saturday
9-4pm, Sunday
Systemic racism continues to shape access, care, and outcomes across mental health and social work. Integrating an antiracist analysis allows practitioners to examine how power and privilege operate within helping systems and to challenge the inequities they reproduce. This approach is essential for building ethical, accountable, and culturally responsive practices.
By the end of this workshop, attendees will:
Develop a common language and analysis for examining racism in the United States along with a common definition of racism and an understanding of its different forms (individual, institutional, linguistic, and cultural).
Understand and address their own connection to institutional racism, its impact on their lives and work, and their surface assumptions about how their work is (or is not) affected by racism.
Understand why people are poor and the role of institutions in exacerbating institutional racism, particularly for people and communities of color, and the historical context for how racial classifications in the United States originated and continue to be maintained.
Develop awareness and understanding about how racism is manifesting in people’s lives and work and the role of community organizing and building effective multiracial coalitions as a means for Undoing Racism®.
Gain knowledge about how to be more effective and humanistic in the work they do, in organizations they're a part of, with their community, and their family and how to begin to organize Undoing Racism®.
About PISAB
The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond, a national, multiracial, anti-racist collective of organizers and educators, is dedicated to building a movement for social transformation. Their aim is to undo racism and other forms of oppression.

Collective Growth, Liberation, and Rest: A NYCAAMH Leadership Retreat
10am-7pm, Saturday, March 28, 2026
As a result of membership feedback throughout the past year, NYCAAMH leadership has been busy focusing on three member-driven areas: collective liberation, policy, and advocacy; self-growth and education; and community building, play, and rest. Through the dedication of our volunteer leaders, we obtained a grant and put forth a variety of community-focused programming in the past year, and now, we would like to turn inwards and engage in supporting our members and leaders.
To do this, we are offering a leadership and membership "retreat" experience.
For current and former leaders, please join for a full day of leadership development and community reflection from 10am-7pm.
For current members and interested leaders, please join for time to do community-building and collective brainstorming with leaders, from 3pm-7pm. New members are welcome to attend!
Everyone can expect food, fun, movement, art, relaxation, and of course, reflections and discussions about community organizing and mental health.
Join us!
We invite you to join us at 269 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215 (Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture building), for a day focused on honoring all our achievements as we strive for collective growth and liberation while also fostering space for rest.

Being Asian American: Then and Now, Exploring Our Identity and Experiences
Being Asian American: Then and Now, Exploring Our Identity and Experiences
Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm, at The World’s Borough Bookshop
Where did the term “Asian American” come from, and what does it mean for us today? Have you ever wondered where you belong, how you fit within the label “Asian American”, or felt pressured by the model minority stereotype? Together, we’ll learn about the political history of the Asian American label and explore how we understand ourselves and our sense of belonging. This gathering explores the reality that Asian Americans are not a monolith.
We will reflect on our personal and collective identities and honor the richness of our immigration histories and diverse cultural backgrounds from across the Asian diaspora.
We are excited to foster a space for experience-sharing, community-building, and, of course, breaking bread together!
Collaborators and Organizers
The New York Coalition for Asian American Mental Health (NYCAAMH) strives to improve the quality of mental health care services in Asian American communities throughout the New York metropolitan area. Our mission is to address the unmet mental health care needs and service disparities of the Asian American population through advocacy, community service, professional development, and collaboration with government and local service providers.
The World’s Borough Book Shop
Here are some words from our partner, The World’s Borough Book Shop, about who they are.
“We are a bookshop that celebrates and only sells BIPOC books. Our shelves are dedicated to amplifying diversity and inclusivity of BIPOC writers. Queens is one of the most diverse places in the world, with over 130 languages spoken in just one borough. However, despite its diversity, there are very few bookstores around, leaving many areas as book deserts. Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive space for everyone to discover, read, and celebrate diverse literature. By offering a vast selection of BIPOC books, we aim to uplift the voices and stories of underrepresented communities, providing a space for them to connect and empower one another.”
Join us!
We invite you to join NYCAAMH for this exciting event. Connect with like-minded folks for beverages, snacks, and conversations about the history of the Asian American identity and how it shapes our experiences and the world around us.
Please RSVP by clicking here to register through this form. We encourage you to sign up by 3/18/26, so that we can honor your food practices.
Coffee, Connections, and...Casinos?
Come and join NYCAAMH as we explore the role of casinos, gambling, and their impact on Asian mental health. This event will offer a thoughtful, community-centered space for open and respectful conversation about how gambling intersects with mental health, family life, and neighborhood change.
Our goal is not to arrive at one “correct” answer or perspective, but to listen, learn, and better understand how these issues affect people in different ways. Together, we’ll sip coffee while we connect over personal stories, community values, and conversations about broader systemic forces.
Join us!
We will meet at The Well Coffee, 43-29 162nd Street, Flushing, NY 11358. All are welcome! The first 50 people who sign up will receive an $8 voucher for food or drinks at The Well Café.

Growing Down: How to Have Fun as an Adult
growing down: how to have fun as an adult
[2pm-5pm, Sunday, February 8th, 2026]
Adulting doesn’t come with a manual on having fun. Rather, having fun as an adult is often relegated to the periphery of our priorities by the social order we live in, or it’s neatly packaged into a slogan that glorifies burnout more than it makes the case for having fun (i.e. work hard, play hard).
The New York Coalition of Asian American Mental Health (NYCAAMH) invites you to a conversation where we’ll explore another option: growing down. Join us for an afternoon of community building, creative expression, and collective reflection as we puzzle through this question: how can adults have fun and honor their humanity in its fullness?
Join us!
Please click here to register! We will meet at Tea & Milk, in Bay Ridge, at 6756 4th Ave., Brooklyn, NY, 11220.
