Mental health for the Hmong community remains difficult to address and understand. Yet it is a growing concern that continues to impact the well-being of Hmong families. In this podcast, the clinical team at Vanguard Mental Health and Wellness Clinic will talk about mental health from a cultural framework. This 2023 season, Healing the Self, will explore psychological components that often impact a person's sense of self and how gaining insights about self-healing can help individuals with their overall life quality.
We open Season 2 with a broader conversation about the relationships that shape us and the growing relationship struggles we are seeing in our community. Through a Hmong cultural and mental health lens, we explore family, connection, belonging, changing expectations, and the tension between the “I” and the “we.” Are relationships becoming harder—or are we simply talking more openly about struggles that have always been there?

Knowing Your Worth: Why It's Important to Self-Healing
In the Hmong community, our worth is often defined by the roles we carry within relationships and through collective values. It is often based on the external validation we receive from others. Knowing our own self-worth can feel conflicting and confusing as we try to balance both the collective and individualistic parts of our identities. In this episode, we explore what knowing our self-worth might look like for Hmong-Americans and how individuals can navigate the challenging demands of biculturalism.
