Listen ""Silencing the Stigma: Understanding Mental Health in the LatinX Community""

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we explore the cultural, historical, and social factors that contribute to the stigma surrounding mental health in the LatinX community. We discuss our experiences to shed light on the unique challenges faced by LatinX individuals seeking mental health support. From the fear of being labeled as "crazy" to the reluctance to seek help due to cultural beliefs. We hope with awareness we can overcome these barriers and advocate for mental health awareness and resources in the LatinX community. Join us for this important conversation on breaking the stigma and promoting mental health equity for all.
