Support Groups for Multigenerational Families

Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh (1926-2022), a frequent lecturer in San Jose, helped to popularize mindfulness throughout the mental health and medical industries.
Thầy Thích Pháp Hạnh wants to offer this treasured teaching to the local Vietnamese families to improve family life and hence the program Tâm Việt trong Gia Đình was conceived.
Cultural Quest Foundation is pleased to co-lead with Thầy a monthly mindfulness-based multi-family support group, which is slowly gaining recognition in the local community.

Community health counselors and peer counselors provide a significant part of mental health care in America, and their work is often unrecognized.
Cultural Quest Foundation is pleased to partner with ICAN and co-facilitate with Mai-Lam Phạm, an extraordinarily gifted and dedicated community counselor. to provide a "process group" support group to senior Vietnamese citizens at the Vietnamese-American Service Center in San Jose since March 2024.
A "process group" relies on the needs and wisdom of the participants to provide answers and healings to other group members. Every session is a surprise as we discover together to power of healing within.
