Dr. Nghi Dang

Dr. Nghi Dang was born in Vietnam but grew up in Southern California. His family moved to the states when he was 7 years old. As an immigrant, he shared the same struggles as many other immigrants with adjusting to a new norm and dealing with bullying, discrimination, and constantly having to self-validate while fighting off depression. Having been in practice for over 10 years as a Family Physician, Dr. Dang realized that his struggles are shared by many of his patients. As the pandemic progressed, he saw more and more visits related to mental health in the clinic for both adults and children. He was motivated to do something to help educate children and help start a dialogue between parents and children about mental health. He figured the best way to help educate is through storytelling.
