Christian Asian Mental Health (CAMH) exists to erase the stigma and shame around mental health in Asian American communities of faith.
54% of practicing Christians report a mental health issue affecting relationships. Most turn to clergy before a therapist. Churches are the front line.
Lack of accessibility, affordability, and cultural understanding makes it incredibly hard for Asian Americans to find professional mental health care. Stigma and shame in Asian cultures further isolate those who need help most.
CAMH works to change this through digital media, community education, and church partnerships — making mental wellness accessible, normalized, and grounded in faith. We collaborate with a network of like-minded partners and organizations, amplifying good work already being done.
Born from the Erasing Shame podcast (DJ Chuang and Eunice Lee Hua), CAMH serves across languages and cultures — because every Asian American church can be a safe place for compassion and care.
“For so many years of my adult life, I struggled with so many questions and internal conflict of who I was as a person and the thoughts/feelings I had as a 2nd-gen Asian American. I carried so much shame that I didn't even know that I felt certain things or why I did what I did.
It helped so much to know I am not alone in my struggles — to hear from therapists and experts about something that is so hidden from society. This podcast gave me courage to begin my healing journey and take back control in my life.”
