MH ACROSS CULTURES
Across different cultures and languages, people talk about and explore mental
health in multiple ways.
In just a few words, please share:
How have you experienced the concept of "mental health" within your own
cultural communities?
● Mental health is not seen as a priority
● hispanic community mental health is dissmised and seemed as a taboo more than a
reality.
● im arab, it doesnt exist in our culture.
● Seen as you being dramatic
● mental health is not really talked about in my culture
● Therapy is only for people who are "crazy." Makes me so sad to hear this from my family.
● heavy stigma, shame/pity for mentally ill, keep it hidden + mental problems = not being
spiritual enough
● Most of the time in the Armenian culture mental health is not given any attention and as
someone said dismissed
● I also come from a cuban background and it was something that was not considered
real for awhile
● being mental illness is embarrassing
● “it’s all in your head”
● Be safe and do not harm yourself or others
