In just a few words, please share:
How have you experienced the concept of "mental health"
within your own cultural communities?
● It's not prioritized nor acknowledged
● Dysfunction/Disease model
● Misunderstood, not sure how to help
● some have started to say it's a "fad"
● But a few have actually tried to help. I have learned that education on
the matter makes a huge difference.
● Seen as someone "other" than myself
● Definitely seen as "other"
● frustrated at lack of "quick fixes"
