In Episode 7, we discuss intergenerational trauma - a cycle of trauma and mental illness that trickles down from one generation to the next. We can begin to break the cycle by first addressing its existence and impact on our own lives. #BrainMatterChatter #AcademicMentalHealth
This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Ishita Aggarwal, a @queensu Med student, about mental health in South Asian communities. Listen to join our discussion on intergenerational trauma, mental health stigma & sexual health. #BrainMatterChatter #AcademicMentalHealth
