In this episode, I delve into a subject that is frequently ignored in our community: the misconception that having mental health issues signifies weakness. We are entering a new era where we can start to accept that many people may be struggling with their mental health. It's important to recognize that anyone can be affected by these challenges. Within the Hispanic culture, mental health issues are often stigmatized, making it crucial to educate our community and raise awareness. This initiative is a vital step toward helping the older generation understand that it's perfectly acceptable not to be okay and that mental illness should not be a source of shame. If you or someone you know is in crisis or struggling with mental health, you can call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This is a 24/7, judgment-free service that offers support for mental health and substance use. You can also chat with someone online at 988lifeline.org.
