Care Solace Article: Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

We celebrate the contributions that generations of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders have made to American history, society, and culture in May.

Please consider supporting the AANHPI community by:

  • Attending a local festival or market
  • Working with AANHPI-owned businesses
  • Virtually visiting museums and websites showcasing AANHPI art and history
  • Reading books and listening to podcasts from AANHPI authors and creators

Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is also an opportunity to recognize the disproportionate toll racism can take on physical and mental health. Wayne-Westland Community School District is committed to raising awareness about mental health and equitable access to quality mental health services.
