Mental health is such an important aspect of our daily lives and can determine how we show up in the world and for ourselves. This topic is so important to us that we wanted to bring in a budding expert in the mental health field, Sarah Asif. Sarah is 22 years old and a former student of Java’s who has accomplished so much in as little as four years. She holds a bachelors and masters degree and is working toward her doctorate with one goal in mind, and that is, to help prevent and aid in mental health for people all over the world. Her unique perspective of the disparity in mental health care across the globe and in communities in the US has pushed her to advocate for mental health in places where it hasn’t been so readily available and has led her research to find ways to create opportunities for education for people in places where mental health is highly stigmatized. Sarah is brilliant and highly knowledgeable in her field that can be heard throughout the episode.Tune in to hear how you can receive mental health assistance, and how to take care of your mental health on a day to day basis by asking for support and taking a mental health day when needed.Topics discussed in this episode:Sarah’s education and accomplishmentsWhat attracted Sarah to mental healthThe disparity in mental health careWhere does Sarah think we are at with mental health as a societyMental health stigma in older generationsCultural aspect of mental health stigmaTwo types of strategies to combat mental illness in communities all over the worldSarah’s advice for those who are struggling with mental illness and are seeking helpWhat Sarah does to take care of her own mental healthThe importance of taking a mental health day What Sarah wishes to accomplish in 10 yearsHead to Apple Podcasts to listen to Maureen’s podcast, ‘The Brain BS Podcast’, to learn more on how you can learn how to live consciously!To learn more about character building qualities to become your true self, visit our website here!Head to Apple Podcasts to hear more episodes.Connect with Java:FacebookEmailInstagramLinkedInTwitter
