Late post: Thank you to Agape Love Church, for seeing how important mental health is in the faith based spaces. Dr. Alyssa Vang had a wonderful opportunity to talk about mental health through a faith-based lens. We welcome conversations with our communities about this very topic!

Late post: At our clinic, we strive to support community, especially when their work help inform the work we do.

Our team attended Theatre Mu’s “Hmong Future” to gain insight on how others experience and make meaning of generational trauma. There was much to reflect on and process through, with so many points resonating with our own lived experiences as well as what we see in our clinic.

We lucked out on the night we attended and got a picture with the talented Melody Her and her family!

Late post: At Vanguard Clinic, we are overfilled with joy when one of our very own lead at a level that once felt out of reach for our community.

We congratulate Dr. Talee Vang, this year’s Minnesota Psychological Association’s President as she leads the state of MN in this years annual conference. She is stepping into spaces that will become a role model for next generations to come.

We also celebrate Dr. Alyssa Vang as she receives the Presidential Citation Award for the MPA.

And of course, it is such an honor for Dr. Vang to share a meal with Dr. Talee, Dr. Debra Kawahara (last year’s American Psychological Association’s President), and two amazing up and coming leaders in Psychology (Quincy and Abyan Bashir).
