Chit Chat & Chai: A Brown Girl's Guide to Therapy

Students of color are less likely to seek mental health services than their white counterparts (Harris Poll, 2015). Should brown girls only seek therapy from brown therapists? On this week's episode we discuss therapy: what is it, who should go, and why it matters. We share our own experiences with receiving therapy, both good and bad, and how to seek it out once you're on your own in college. We talk cultural competency, stigma, and accountability.  While we recognize that COVID-19 has shifted healthcare online, we still wanted to have a discussion about mental health. In addition to our COVID Diaries on our Instagram, we'll also be sharing some mental wellness resources that may help you during this time. As always, make sure to follow us on Instagram @loudmouthladkis for updates on our COVID Diaries, new episodes, and related content!
