We want to share an opportunity to participate in a research study led by Floris Yeung, a Clinical Psychology doctoral student at the Wright Institute. This study looks at the experiences of Asian-identified young adults (ages 18-29) from immigrant families who have helped translate or interpret for others, and how those experiences may affect their well-being.

Eligible participants can complete a short, anonymous online survey (10–15 minutes) and will have a chance to win one of four $50 Amazon gift cards. To learn more or participate, visit tinyurl.com/LBadjustment.
