OUR STORY

Changing Tides began when Little Tokyo Service Center hosted an event that sparked a dialogue on the importance of mental health within the Asian American community. That event, titled "Changing Tides: An Open Conversation on Compassion and Well-Being," was held in May of 2018. 

Beginning November of 2017, a general committee and a youth committee met to collaborate on this novel project. Following this event, many community members and friends expressed their gratitude for promoting these healthy discussions in the Asian American community. We, the youth committee, then decided to channel our efforts towards ending the stigma surrounding mental health and founded Changing Tides. We are glad to have you here and we hope that you will join us in changing the tides. 

Changing Tides is a program of Little Tokyo Service Center (LTSC), which is located in Los Angeles, CA. For more information about LTSC, visit www.LTSC.org.
