美国华人联盟心理健康组织 UCA WAVES 总第 26 期

Huge success for UCA WAVES’ latest Parent Education webinar on February 22nd, with Dr. G. Julie Xie (谢刚博士)!

We had an incredible turnout with 407 participants from 29 states (including 21 from Wake County, NC), making this one of our most significant events yet! Parents shared overwhelmingly positive feedback, praising Dr. Xie’s insights on fostering strong parent- child relationships and raising resilient, motivated children.

Within a month, the WeChat blog and YouTube video covering the webinar had more than 2,300 views.

Here is the reflection wrote by one of the parents and volunteer Hong Wang Ph.D——

Dr. Xie’s Webinar is an excellent mix of theoretical and practical guidance. For the theoretical part, it will take lifelong learning. But we can put many practical guidance into action right away……

2月22日，UCA WAVES联合多家机构，邀请了著名的心理学博士谢刚老师作为主讲嘉宾，开启了一场《新年心启，在关系中成长 -对话谢刚博士》的网上讲座。这次的讲座总共吸引了400多位参加者，内容十分精彩，很多参加者在讲座后都留言说，谢刚老师字字珠玑，让人醍醐灌顶，受益匪浅。讲座结束后的一个月内，报道该讲座的微信公众号文章以及You Tube 视频的浏览量已达2300+。

UCA WAVES志愿者王虹博士在听完讲座后，撰文写道：

谢博士的讲座是理论和实践指导的完美结合。对于理论部分，这需要终身学习，但我们可以立即将许多具体的技能付诸行动……点击阅读全文→

On February 26, our dedicated staff, Mae and Ivy, hosted a heartwarming birthday lunch for two veterans at the Korean Baptist Church. Mae prepared a delicious feast with ribs, Mapo Tofu, and soup, but it’s about more than just the food; it's about offering connection, support, and a safe space to listen.

In addition, we hosted a Lantern Festival dinner and a heartfelt farewell party for a young man who dedicated the past four years serving in the U.S. Army, 82nd Airborne. WAVES was proud to stand by him, offering guidance for his new journey, discussing resources, support systems, and ways to ensure a smooth transition. Because supporting our military doesn’t end when the uniform comes off; it’s a lifelong commitment.

Our Pathway for Heroes program focuses on social support : listening to their stories, offering advice, connecting them with essential resources, and celebrating their milestones. These small, meaningful moments make a huge difference in their well-being and remind them that they are valued and never alone.

From a warm meal to a listening ear, WAVES is committed to standing by our heroes, showing them they are always supported.

To all who serve, past and present, we see you, we honor you, and we stand with you.

WAVES的“英雄之路”军人支持项目开始了！2月26日，WAVES员工Mae和Ivy在北卡州Fayetteville空降部队基地为两位退伍军人举办了一场温馨的生日午餐。

此外，还在元宵节为一位在美国陆军第82空降师服役四年的年轻人举行了暖心的告别晚会。WAVES为他提供建议，资源，和支持系统，以便他顺利开启新的人生旅程。

我们的项目着眼于提供支持：从一顿温热的饭菜到倾听的耳朵——倾听他们的故事，提供建议，为他们提供必要的资源，并庆祝他们的里程碑。这些小而有意义的时刻对他们的幸福产生了巨大的影响，并提醒他们，他们是有价值的，从不孤单。
