In the first installment of this 2-part episode, we talk to Dr. Gursharan Virdee, a psychologist from the United Kingdom currently doing clinical research at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, and Co-Lead of the Collaborative for South Asian Mental Health, a group that works to “develop a research strategy that promotes better mental health in South Asian communities”. In this first part, we’ll learn from Gursharan about the efforts of the Collaborative and her own personal interest/experience of mental health.
