Honoring Origins in Mindfulness for Equity (HOME): Multilingual Videos in Cantonese and Spanish for Mind-Body Health
I seek funding to support two spots in the Integrative Health Equity & Applied Research (IHEAR) program to extend eligibility to DACA recipients and undocumented learners. This pilot initiative aims to explore the feasibility of identifying and recruiting learners to fill these spots, including identifying the number of eligible DACA predoctoral candidates and developing effective outreach strategies.

To expand and enhance options for depression care in our cultually diverse patient population, I would collaborate with Mt Madonna Institute of Yoga to develop three Ayurvedic yoga instructional videos. Each video would contain a yoga sequence for treating Vata, Pitta or Kapha type of depression. Videos could be shared with patients individually or within Osher group medical visits and public classes.
