How to Help Your Asian Parents Understand Mental Health
"You’re not depressed, you’re just tired!" Why can't my Asian parents understand mental health?
In many Asian communities, mental health is often seen as a weakness and a disgrace to the family honour. We hope by initiating this conversation, we’re able to help destigmatise it and provide some advice for anyone who might be in a tough situation where both their mental health and family values are conflicting.
We’d LOVE to hear from you about your personal experiences! Slide into our dms on Insta @crazybiatchasians or continue the convo via email crazybiatchasians@gmail.com
