RED FLAGGED launch new mental health service for queer East & Southeast Asian people
A new mental health platform created by and for queer East & Southeast Asian people has launched in the UK. RED FLAGGED is a community organisation founded by Ed Lee and Alex Han to create an uplifting and supporting environment for queer ESEA people; an often overlooked and underserved group of people in London and beyond.
The community group’s aim is to provide free therapy, drive awareness, hold community events and create social content for queer ESEA people, while fostering an uplifting and supporting environment for them.
This has led to RED FLAGGED launching AA – Asians Anonymous – a mental health platform that offers free group in-person therapy with queer ESEA therapists, aimed at queer ESEA people, monthly for the next 12 months.
Its founders felt the need for the service to overcome cultural stigma around seeking therapy, as well as grave challenges finding therapists who understand both the ESEA and queer experience.
