It's time to prioritize your mental health and achieve a more balanced, empowered, and confident sense of self.

From navigating academic pressures and planning for your future to dealing with peers and the often-toxic social media arena--being a teen in today's world is hard. And if you're an Asian American teen with immigrant parents, you may also face racism, stigmatization, cultural challenges, and intense family expectations. Juggling the social and emotional demands of two different cultures can leave you feeling stressed, anxious, and depressed. But there is help.

Written by an Asian American psychologist who's been there, this book blends proven-effective therapies with real-world knowledge to help you develop a strong sense of identity, connect with peers, and nurture your bicultural pride. You'll find strategies to help you deal with family expectations, cultural differences, and generational trauma--as well as tools to help you challenge the racism, bullying, and microaggressions you may encounter at school or out in the world. Most importantly, you'll develop the resilience needed to take charge of your life and your future.

Discover powerful tools to help you:

  • Deal with parentification and family expectations
  • Manage stress and alleviate anxiety and depression
  • Build close connections with family and peers
  • Live a more emotionally balanced and rewarding life

If you're feeling disconnected and are struggling to navigate two different cultures at the same time, help is here. This empowering guide--written just for you--will help you gain the skills you need to be confident, independent, and resilient.

In these increasingly challenging times, kids and teens need mental health resources more than ever. With more than 3 million copies sold worldwide and translated into 260 languages, Instant Help Books are easy to use, proven-effective, and recommended by therapists.
