8: How the Model Minority Hurts You
Description
Welcome back to the Mental Health Mukbang, a podcast by the Asian Mental Health Collective, where we try to make mental health easily digestible. As BIPOC mental health awareness month draws to a close, we decided it would be a great opportunity for us to explore the model minority myth. In this episode we talk about the origins of the model minority and we explore ways that it has affected us and the communities that we work with. Join us again next week as we explore how the therapy process works.
Special thanks to our hosts:
