Mental Health Culture (Episode 35)
Culture and age both shape how we experience and talk about mental health, for better or for worse. Culture and age influence our beliefs about mental health, how comfortable we are in asking for help, and how others treat us when we disclose mental health challenges.
In this episode, Nita and Sylvia explore how culture and age shape mental health based on our personal and professional experiences.
Mental Health IS Health and we conclude with an emphasis on awareness of this concept and how we might support our own mental health.
