welcome to AWAY

destigmatizing mental health through creative expression

AWAY is a nonprofit organization that aims to help Asian-American youth destigmatize mental wellness through creative expression. We highlight art and writing that tackles issues pertinent to the AAPI community, such as differing intergenerational mindsets, the immigrant experience, and harmful cultural stereotypes. By encouraging AAPI youth to interact with others' work and contribute their own, AWAY serves as both a creative outlet and a reminder that mental health is important and universal – no one should be alone in their struggles. Ultimately, we hope to create a culture-conscious community where conversations around mental wellness are not only welcomed, they are celebrated.
