Adora Du (she/her) is a dedicated Asian American mental health clinician and researcher, currently making significant strides in the field as the Founder and CEO of the FAUNA Mental Health Foundation. Under her leadership, FAUNA has emerged as a vital resource for the Asian and BIPOC communities, focusing on the dissemination of free mental health resources and advocating for culturally relevant care. Adora’s commitment to mental health equity is evident in her innovative approach to program coordination and community engagement, ensuring that underserved populations have access to essential mental health services.
As a master’s candidate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Antioch University Seattle, Adora is honing her clinical skills while serving as an intern therapist at a play therapy clinic. Here, she works closely with children and families, utilizing her expertise in Autism Spectrum Disorders and eating disorders to provide tailored therapeutic interventions. Her academic background in Psychological and Brain Sciences equips her with a robust understanding of the complexities of mental health, which she applies to her research initiatives at FAUNA.
One of Adora's key projects includes the development of open-access mental health resources that address the unique challenges faced by the Asian and BIPOC communities. Through her public speaking engagements and community outreach efforts, she raises awareness about the importance of culturally competent care, fostering a more inclusive dialogue around mental health. Adora’s skills in implementation science and program coordination are instrumental in driving FAUNA’s mission forward, making her a pivotal figure in the ongoing effort to reshape mental health care for diverse populations.
