Exploring Emotional Wellbeing, Mental Health, and Trauma in South Asians

People of Color in Psychology

Exploring mental health topics with South Asian clients may at times be an entirely new experience for the client themselves. Similarly, conversations about mental health issues especially in the case of trauma can be taboo or even unrecognized. In our conversation with Dr. Siledar-Lee, we discuss mental health and ways in which trauma might show itself in the South Asian population.
