Joyce Chu, Ph.D. - PAU Assistant Professor, Ethnic Minority Mental Health Research Group

Dr. Joyce Chu, Assistant Professor at Palo Alto University, discusses her Research Group's work with Ethnic Minority Mental Health.
The Ethnic Minority Mental Health (EMH) Research Group is focused around understanding and improving mental health services for ethnic minority individuals with suicidal behaviors and
mood disorders. Ethnic minority individuals are often underserved and have low rates of service utilization. Our lab is dedicated to understanding the barriers to service use and developing
culturally congruent outreach and treatment options for these communities. The work in this lab is often community-based. Main projects study special subpopulations of Asian Americans, but
research projects examining ethnic minority issues as a whole are also included. The lab also has a particular focus on older adults.
