MSG National Summits
In 2021, we held our inaugural National Summit virtually across 23 different states and from the Republic of Korea and Indonesia!
National Summit is a one-day conference where mental health professionals network with other professionals and organizations and learn about mental health issues relevant to the Korean American community. The goal of the National Summit is to provide a place of respite, targeted learning, and strategic networking for Korean American mental health professionals. We want to raise national awareness of mental health in the Korean American community by caring for our mental health professionals' success and well-being and collaborating strategically with mental health professionals and organizations.
"The MSG Summit isn't just an event but an opportunity: to connect and collaborate to help our Korean American community. It's through the Summit our passions come together to knit something beautiful. It's refreshing, encouraging and inspiring melded into one.”
