Abstract

In response to the increase in anti-Asian hate, the California State Legislature allocated $110 million in 2021 over three years to fund its Stop the Hate Program, which supports community-based organizations (CBOs) that offer direct services to victims and survivors of hate incidents and hate crimes, as well as prevention and intervention services to combat hate within communities in California. Although this funding was not limited to the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, California's Stop the Hate Program was nevertheless a first-of-its-kind investment in AAPI communities throughout the state and is a significant move toward achieving equity for all residents of the state. With Stop the Hate funding, CBOs provide wide-ranging programs and services, including prevention and direct services, to community members who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing acts of hate. This study examines direct services provided to victims of hate and their families. RAND's community partner in this study, the Chinatown Service Center (CSC), is particularly concerned about older Chinese and Chinese American adults who are not using their Stop the Hate mental health services. Because of the surge in anti-Asian hate-to which older adults are particularly vulnerable-and the limited understanding around perceptions of mental health service use in the context of this surge, the authors focus on mental health services intended to help victims of anti-Asian hate incidents among older Asian American adults-and specifically older Chinese and Chinese American adults-in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“社会需要知道我们的感受”:了解加州洛杉矶县华裔老年人的反亚裔仇恨经历和服务障碍。
为了应对反亚裔仇恨的增加,加州立法机构在2021年拨款1.1亿美元,在三年内资助其“停止仇恨计划”,该计划支持社区组织(cbo)为仇恨事件和仇恨犯罪的受害者和幸存者提供直接服务,以及预防和干预服务,以打击加州社区内的仇恨。尽管这笔资金并不局限于亚裔美国太平洋岛民(AAPI)社区,但加州的“停止仇恨计划”(Stop the Hate Program)仍然是对整个州的AAPI社区的首次此类投资,是向实现该州所有居民的平等迈出的重要一步。通过“停止仇恨”基金,社区组织向经历过或有可能经历仇恨行为的社区成员提供广泛的项目和服务,包括预防和直接服务。本研究考察了向仇恨受害者及其家庭提供的直接服务。兰德公司在这项研究中的社区合作伙伴,唐人街服务中心(CSC),特别关注那些没有使用他们的停止仇恨心理健康服务的中国老年人和华裔美国人。由于针对亚洲人的仇恨激增——老年人尤其容易受到这种仇恨的影响——以及在这种激增的背景下,人们对心理健康服务使用的认识有限,因此,作者将重点放在了旨在帮助亚裔美国老年人(尤其是华裔和华裔美国老年人)在2019冠状病毒病大流行之后遭受反亚洲仇恨事件受害者的心理健康服务上。
