Talking about mental health in Asian families isn’t always simple.
Between language barriers, cultural expectations, and the pressure to be a “good child”, it can feel challenging to share how you’re really feeling.
This free guide draws on psychologist Helen Tang’s lived experience to help you start mental health conversations with hopefully, a little more confidence. You’ll find culturally-informed strategies to express yourself, honour your parents, and still look after your own wellbeing.
