The FIRST Hmong Autism Awareness Event Was A Success!
The first Hmong Autism Awareness Event was a success! We had many Hmong families come out to participate. Thank you to our amazing team leads, Lisa Lor and Brittany X. Vang and thank you to our President, Sendra Yang!
The event would not have been possible with our amazing Hmong expert speakers, Tiaj Yaj Lis Consulting, LLC and @Lou Vang! Our partners, We Rock The Spectrum - Hickory and Hmong Hope Family Support Network / HOPE Family Support Network were wonderful in helping us make this a great event! And of course, our talented MC, Kalia Yang!

We are dedicated
NC HWA values mental health well-being as part of our Health and Wellness program. From the beginning, we partnered with mental health professionals, coordinated events to bring awareness, and continued to find ways to make sure our Hmong community has accessible resources. Our dedication to Hmong mental health well-being extends as 5 of our members received their certification in Adult Mental Health First Aid. Our NC Hmong community can continue to trust us as we work to make reliable mental health partnerships and provide factual resources. Thank you for your continued support in our organization. Stay tuned as we continue to build opportunities to serve our Hmong community in the mental health and wellness space.
