Therapy for victims of anti-Asian hate incidents

Hi! We are Soar Over Hate , a NYC-based 501(c)3 organization that arose in March 2021 to help equip AAPI folks to resist anti-Asian hate incidents through events centering health, healing and self defense.

From our work in the community distributing over 24,000 personal safety devices, we observed that the rise in violent racism and xenophobia has left a traumatic mental health impact on many AAPI-identifying people, but especially victims of hate incidents and their family/friends. We wanted to help do something about it.

In September 2021, we launched our Heal from Hate program. Through this project, we are connecting victims of anti-Asian hate incidents (non-violent and violent) with licensed AAPI therapists who offer culturally competent care in the victims' native languages. We will cover up to 10 sessions of therapy for participants at up to $150/session. We are starting with with New York-based participants and partnered up with Bridges NYC and the Center for Counseling and Meditation to connect with their network of NY Asian therapists.

We would love to expand our pilot to reach more victims in New York and across the country! Each $150 you donate will help us fund one therapy session for a victim of an anti-Asian hate crime. Thank you!
