Join me as I explore the roots of mental health stigmas, from cultural misconceptions to historical misunderstandings.

Whether you’ve experienced stigma firsthand or want to learn how to be part of the solution, this episode offers valuable insights and practical steps for creating a world where mental health is treated with the understanding and care it deserves.
