CHANGINg TIDES
A PROGRAM OF LITTLE TOKYO SERVICE CENTER
who we are
Changing Tides is a program of Little Tokyo Service Center located in Los Angeles, California. We seek to inspire greater mental health discussion within the Japanese American and broader Asian American community while tackling the associated stigma. We were raised by generations of strength and hard work. It is with these values that we dare to change the way mental health is viewed. We are starting the conversation, educating the community, and changing the tides. Let’s create a new, open-minded generation.
