About This Panel
Heritage Mandarin learners often grow up in a bilingual and bi-cultural, or even multilingual and multicultural, environment. Such diverse experiences, however, frequently result in some distinctive difficulties, such as cultural confusion and conflicting social expectations, which may lead to some students’ mental wellbeing concerns.
Given that the related issues can be easily underestimated, the UBC Chinese Language Program is aware of the mental health challenges its heritage Mandarin students are faced with. Thus, the Program is organizing an online panel for its heritage Mandarin learners and their parents, as well as their heritage friends to promote these learners’ mental wellbeing, and raise awareness for mental health and wellness among their family members.
The online panel features
-
- Dr. Xinshu She, a Global Health Pediatrician from Stanford University
- Dr. Brenda Lee, a Registered Psychologist at Counselling Services of UBC
- Ana Tam, a UBC heritage Mandarin learner
These three panelists will elaborate on the importance of heritage students’ mental wellbeing from both professional and personal perspectives. Furthermore, resources and support at UBC and beyond will be provided so that students can be aware of how to prevent mental-health-related issues and where to go for help.
We cordially invite our heritage students, their parents and heritage friends to join the online panel on Zoom!
Friendly Reminders:
-
- A reminder to students that you can choose to be anonymous when joining Zoom, and webcams are completely optional.
- You are highly encouraged to forward this information to your parents, family members or your heritage friends
