Made Day 2 and cashed the Ladies Event at #WSOP ! 2 cashes at @WSOP this year. Fo someone who just learned the rules of #poker 4 months ago, feels like anything is possible. Idk who needs to hear this but if there’s something you wanna try, go for it 👊

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

Thank you @latimes for giving this opinion piece a home. The #MontereyPark shooting raises big questions about access to #aapi #mentalhealth … take a read

[Los Angeles Times @latimes]

"As someone who grew up here and now works in mental health," writes @virtuallyceline, "I’ve been haunted by this question: How will this community wrestle with their trauma?" (via @latimesopinion)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

To all the providers and people in the health field that read this, I hope this serves as a reminder to continually think about how you can make your work more accessible to immigrant, POC, and first generation families. (7/7)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

I was 10 minutes from the #montereypark shooting when it happened and one of the issues that most disturbs me today is the #mentalhealth crisis our community will face. MP is a predominantly Chinese immigrant and Chinese American community. Important things to note... (1/7)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

Our system needs to continually step up to meet the diversity of our immigrant and POC communities around the country. (6/7)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

Not to mention this is a population still reeling from the violent (physical and mental) racism they endured during COVID. While this is just one nuance in the larger conversation around the Monterey Park mass shooting, it is one that is deeply real for this community. (5/7)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

Even more, mass shooting occurred in a dance hall where most people present were 50+ adults. Even from my own personal experience I know that it will be a struggle to truly get older, AAPI adults the type of trauma counseling they will need. (4/7)

2. Only 8.6% of Asian Americans sought any type of mental health service or resources compared to nearly 18% of the general population in this country. (3/7)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

1. Asian Americans have a 17.3% overall lifetime rate of psychiatric disorder yet Asian Americans are three times less likely to seek mental health services compared to their White counterparts. (2/7)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

I’d love to hear your thoughts. (9/9)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

Zuck is trying to build something new with VR/XR +Metaverse. I applaud him for it. But I think he’s focusing on the wrong things when it comes to the Metaverse.

Looking at the history of how media has evolved, it makes sense the Metaverse in the cards for our future. (1/9)

[Celine Tien 《田子欣》 @virtuallyceline]

With Flowly, we are hoping to impact people’s health by democratizing access to VR therapy. We’re currently focused on addressing chronic pain and already starting to seeing promising early results in NIH-backed randomized controlled clinical trials. (8/9)
