Mental health issues shouldn’t be underestimated, feared, or ignored. No one should go through this battle alone. The Black Community has experienced stigma generation after generation. It’s present in the workplace, the community, and even in healthcare organizations.
Our guest this week is Martine Lopez who is a Mental Health Social Worker, Assistant Professor for Mental Health and Behavioral Sciences, and currently working in an inpatient mental health unit at a hospital in the greater Toronto area. She has over 17 years of experience in the field of mental health. She recently expanded her social work practice by starting her own education and training business called The Renewell.
We discuss how people of color experience stigma, where it started, and how it is still timely. We also talk about tips on how you can overcome that stigma to keep your mind at ease. These could benefit you and your family during these times when being connected is more important than ever.
