The forum will bring together experts, community leaders, and families to discuss generational challenges in immigrant households. Based on insights from a 2024 survey by YouStar Foundation and the Korean Consulate General in LA, the event will explore cultural misunderstandings, shifting family roles, and mental health impacts. Through open dialogue, real-life stories, and expert guidance, attendees will gain tools to foster understanding and communication across generations in Korean American families.
