The research report, Asian Sexual Violence Survivors’ Experiences and Expectations of Support within Schools in Aotearoa New Zealand, funded by a Lottery Health Research Grant, highlights the barriers young Asian sexual violence survivors and their families face in accessing mental health support.
Chaired by Kelly Feng, CEO of Asian Family Services, the panel will address key research findings, including:
-
The impact of delayed interventions and long waiting times for survivors accessing services.
-
Significant negative experiences with support services reinforcing existing mistrust in the system, further discouraging survivors from seeking help.
-
The lack of training and resources to effectively address the complex needs of young Asian survivors.
