No two mental health journeys are the same. Our unique identities and experiences play a huge role in shaping our perspectives and actions. 

How can our cultures uplift our spirits and benefit our collective health? What’s preventing more therapists from various cultural backgrounds from joining the field? And how do you find a therapist who understands and respects your culture? 

Host Frantzces Lys is joined by fellow experts in a roundtable discussion to explore how cultural differences shape our health journeys: Dulce Orozco is a therapist who focuses on women of Latina and Hispanic origin in her practice. Krystle Canare is deputy director of the National Asian American Pacific Islander Mental Health Association and vice chair of the Asian Mental Health Collective, working to destigmatize mental health in the AAPI communities. Dr. Earl Turner is a licensed psychologist, professor, internationally recognized speaker, and founder and executive director of Therapy for Black Kids, which provides mental health support and psychoeducational resources to parents.
