["Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nThis cross‐sectional quantitative study examines how discrimination and self‐compassion moderate the associations between family factors (i.e., shame and perfectionism) and perceived burdensomeness (a suicidal risk factor) in an Asian sample. Our study suggested that self‐compassion may serve as a protective factor to help mitigate suicide risk when Asian young adults experience shame or criticism from family, whereas discrimination could intensify the feelings of being a burden to their family. Clinical implications were discussed.\n"]
