She received her BA in social work at Chung Chi College of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1963. She went on to graduate from Case Western Reserve University with an MSSA in social work in 1968. Lee worked at Boston's South Cove Community Health Center from 1976 to 1980 as the director of mental health, social services and health education before moving on to receive her doctorate in mental health administration at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) in 1983. Between 1980 and 1982, she served as a social science analyst for the federal government in Washington, D.C. In 1982, she joined the Asian Focus Psychiatric Inpatient Unit at San Francisco General Hospital as program director, as well as being appointed assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). In 1988, she founded the Chinese Family Alliance of Mentally Ill, and in 1992, helped to organize the <a href="http://www.nicoschc.org/" target="_blank">NICOS Chinese Health Coalition</a>, both in San Francisco.</p> <p>In 1999, Lee was promoted to clinical professor of psychiatry at UCSF. She served as a consultant on cultural competence and diversity for many community health and mental health organizations, schools, hospitals and local, state, and federal government agencies, such as the National Technical Assistance Center for Children's Mental Health, Georgetown University, the California Department of Mental Health, and Texas Department of Mental Health.</p> <p>An author of more than 30 publications, Lee wrote and taught on topics such as cross-cultural communication (including the use of interpreters), refugee trauma, immigrant acculturation, intergenerational conflict resolution, the role of religion, and complementary/alternative/integrative medicine approaches. In 1988, she authored the widely used parenting handbook <em>Ten Principles for Raising Chinese American Teens</em>, which was subsequently translated and adapted into Chinese and Vietnamese. She was widely respected and loved in the mental health field and the Asian-American community as a clinician, administrator, teacher, author, community advocate, and humanitarian.</p> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="sidebar-second col"> <nav class="block block-menu-block " role="navigation"> <h2 class="title"><a href="/news" class="active-trail">News & Events</a></h2> <ul class="menu"><li class="menu-mlid-3296"><a href="/news">Department News</a></li> <li class="menu-mlid-3966"><a href="http://psych.ucsf.edu/events" target="_blank">Upcoming Events</a></li> <li class="menu-mlid-3281"><a href="/grandrounds">Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds</a></li> <li class="menu-mlid-73266"><a href="/capbsgrandrounds">Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds</a></li> <li class="menu-mlid-87546"><a href="/barondes">Samuel Barondes Lectureship in Biological Psychiatry</a></li> <li class="active-trail active menu-mlid-75481"><a href="/lee" class="active-trail active">Evelyn Lee Visiting Scholar Lectureship in Cultural Competence and Diversity</a></li> <li class="menu-mlid-91046"><a href="/ostwald">Ostwald Lecture Series</a></li> <li class="menu-mlid-4276"><a href="/wallerstein">Robert S.
