10 Oct 2023

Description

  The pandemic and the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes has been devastating for AAPI communities.  How do we heal ourselves from individual, institutional, and systemic traumas? In this episode with Dr. Noel Ramirez (Founder & Director of Mango Tree Counseling & Consulting, an AAPI mental health group mental health resource center, we discuss: - How reading my memoir, "Belonging:  Self Love Lessons From A Workaholic Depressed Insomniac Lawyer" transformed him and gave him the courage to change his life and career. - How being a dancer at a gay Asian night club informed his work as a social worker and therapist. - How he learned that confronting shame and vulnerability is part of the healing journey.  - Why mental health is taboo in the AAPI communities, and why it's important to break this stigma. - What you can do to get and/or provide mental health support that is culturally competent.
