A Novel Virtual Partnership to Promote Asian American and Asian International Student Mental Health

In 2018, the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Cross-Cultural Student Emotional Wellness (CCCSEW) developed the CCCSEW Consortium, a year-long virtual program for secondary schools, colleges, and universities, to support campus staff in promoting the mental health of Asian American and Asian international students. The program shares similarities with the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes model, including the hub-and-spoke virtual learning environment, development of self-efficacy, and peer learning. The program is in its second year of operation and has been well received by participants. The Consortium, a nonprofit entity, has achieved financial sustainability through support of annual membership fees.
