• Detox Local - An excellent resource that features abundant information including mental health and substance use resources specifically for the AAPI (American Asian and Pacific Islander) community.

• Federation of State Physician Health Programs - Every state has one. Please help advocate to get questions regarding an individuals' history of mental health treatment OFF of the licensure questionnaire.

Many states have also passed laws about getting help outside of your network to reduce the stigma & fear of being treated by their colleagues!
