\r\n\tThe 2025 Hong Fook Gala will be hosted on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Hilton Toronto\/Markham Suites Conference Centre & Spa in Markham.<\/p>\r\n
Asian Canadians are the largest and fastest growing racialized group in Canada. Compared to other groups, our community reports poorer self-rated mental health, lower levels of help seeking, and more severe mental illness symptoms by the time of an ER visit or hospitalization.<\/p>\r\n
Stigma around mental health is a major barrier. While mental health awareness is growing across Canada, this stigma lingers more strongly in Asian communities. Our cultural values, which prioritize harmony, often lead many in the Asian community to suppress their emotions and feel fearful or ashamed of sharing their struggles or seeking help-sometimes until it’s too late.<\/p>\r\n
At Hong Fook, we aim to change this narrative-promoting open, supportive conversations that recognize mental health as essential to well-being and community resilience.<\/p>\r\n
We invite you to join us at the 2025 Hong Fook Gala “Together for Tomorrow”, embracing the rich tapestry of diverse identities and cultural beliefs that shape our Asian community, and charting a united path forward to end the stigma today for a healthier tomorrow.<\/p>\r\n
