According to a preliminary study by researchers from the University of California-Davis conducted by the school&#39;s Asian American Center on Disparities Research, in many Asian cultures, <b>&#8220;suffering is accepted&#8221;.<\/b> Nolan Zane, director of the center and professor of psychology continues, &#8220;You persevere despite your pain so you can again become a part of the social fabric. In Eastern cultures, the goal is not about the individual person. It&#39;s to get the person back into the collective culture. The individual is less emphasized.&#8221; In Western cultures, however, the &#8220;goal is to reduce a person&#39;s distress. The focus is on self-esteem, self-efficacy,&#8221; he said. Zane continues, &#8220;We&#39;re trying to find out what it is about a person&#39;s culture &#8212; about being Asian-American and being an ethnic minority &#8212; that often leads to dropping out at a high rate from therapy compared to whites.&#8221; For help and more information see below.  <\/p>\n<p> Judy Heary, executive director of the <b>Asian Pacific Community Counseling<\/b>, said that before the agency was established, &#8220;There was no real program set up for people to serve them in their own language and have a sense of understanding and sensitivity culturally.&#8221; The 30-year-old counseling agency provides services in 13 different languages (Caina Calvan, Sacramento Bee, 9\/17).  <\/p>\n<p> For more information please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kaisernetwork.org\/daily_reports\/rep_index.cfm?DR_ID=54510\" target=\"_blank\">www.kaisernetwork.org\/daily_reports<\/a>  or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apccounseling.org\" target=\"_blank\">Asian Pacific Community Counseling<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Tiffany for the heads up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today&#39;s volatile market and economic environment, it&#39;s important to reach out to people you know that might need help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":232,"featured_media":70655,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"colormag-highlighted-post":false,"colormag-featured-post-medium":false,"colormag-featured-post-small":false,"colormag-featured-image":false,"colormag-default-news":false,"colormag-featured-image-large":false,"colormag-elementor-block-extra-large-thumbnail":false,"colormag-elementor-grid-large-thumbnail":false,"colormag-elementor-grid-small-thumbnail":false,"colormag-elementor-grid-medium-large-thumbnail":false},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Nihat73","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b1bb58fca5774217a0d841b35a62b1f5239c50a138ddda09ce9f3521dd95f840?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":"0","magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"In today&#39;s volatile market and economic environment, it&#39;s important to reach out to people you know that might need help.","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["News"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":150,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":false,"medium":false,"thumbnail":false},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Nihat73","author_link":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/?author=232"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b1bb58fca5774217a0d841b35a62b1f5239c50a138ddda09ce9f3521dd95f840?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-1\">News<\/a>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/232"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/70655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiancemagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
