Wellness Initiative
Supporting Asian narratives and experiences in New Haven
Since the start of COVID-19, there has been an alarming uptick of hate crimes committed against Asians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders across the United States. Yale-China’s work is accomplished by building community through transformative experiences that humanize and affirm each individual’s inherent value. We do this in the fields of health, education, and the arts. We continue to honor this commitment through developing intercultural empathy between individuals whose experiences, language, and insights are different from one another.
Educator’s Toolkit
Yale-China is working with New Haven partners to provide middle and high teachers with creative resources that build intercultural empathy and social-emotional skills and amplify Asian and Asian American voices.
While the work is designed for late elementary and middle school students, we welcome outreach from teachers for adaptable content. Email us for more information.
Check back for more information about this initiative made possible by the International Association of New Haven, New Haven Public Schools, and the artwork and stories of individuals throughout Connecticut.
Personal Toolkit by Artists
To complement existing work in health and education programs, Yale-China is working with artists to provide wellness programs and mindfulness sessions geared toward Chinese-speaking members of the New Haven community.
For more information about new developments, email us.
This initiative was made possible by the Yale Community for New Haven Fund.
