ABSTRACT
Asian international college students (AICS) deserve advocacy given their individual, organizational, and societal level of barriers. Those barriers have detrimental impacts on wellbeing of AICS. However, seldom discussed are the strategies to advocate for AICS mental health. The authors reviewed the multiple layers of barriers preventing access to mental health services among AICS – namely, individual, community/school, and public arena. Additionally, we provided AICS advocacy strategies based on ACA Advocacy Competency to college counselors.
