I firmly believe that our lived identities shape our mental health and vice versa, which is why I advocate for intersectionality in mental health spaces.
How do our identities shape our mental health? Lucía, a passionate advocate for intersectionality, joins hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson on 'Bold Beautiful Borderline' to tackle this very question. Lucía (they/them) brings a unique perspective, emphasizing how race and mental illness intersect in complex ways. This episode isn't just about theory; it's about real experiences and the lived realities of navigating the psychiatric system as a person of color.
Lucía shares personal stories that highlight the challenges minorities face, from systemic racism to the impact of colonial structures on mental health care. They discuss how these factors influence not only individual well-being but also broader community health. The conversation dives into tough topics like police violence and the importance of culturally sensitive mental health support. It's a raw, honest, and necessary discussion that sheds light on often overlooked aspects of mental health.
Whether you're personally affected by these issues or just want to broaden your understanding, this episode offers valuable insights. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that bridges the gap between mental health and social justice.
