In this episode, you will hear three therapists have a conversation about how mental health/illness stigma manifests itself in daily practice with clients. Elisa, Monica, and Cristal all have experience working with victims of crime, Latinxs, children, and trauma survivors. All these vulnerable populations experience stigma differently. Elisa speaks about how victims of crime experience stigma. She talks about her experiences with male clients and children. Monica talks about her experiences with curanderismo as mental health treatment... as well as the shortage of male therapists in her area (and everywhere else in the US, we think). And all three talk about their own history with mental health diagnoses and treatment.
