Why Cultural Context Matters

Mental health does not exist outside culture. Language, migration, identity, and family roles all shape emotional well-being.

Common Themes

• Intergenerational conflict

• Academic or professional pressure

• Adjustment after relocation

Our Approach

• Cultural humility

• Strength-based care

• Respect for language and identity

• Systems awareness

Care should reflect lived experience.
