Let's Talk About Mental Health: PTSD, Stigmas & Transgenerational Trauma

Yes, we're talking about it. Mental health is something that is rarely spoken about in our communities, yet it is a huge problem that's currently affecting the diaspora. Even though not much research has been done since 2005, it's important for us to be the ones to start these kinds of conversations. Dive in as we address everything from dealing with PTSD to battling stigmas to carrying transgenerational trauma.
