Do cultural challenges hinder your peace, balance, and wellness?
Individuals in the Asian community often find it difficult to seek counseling services due to cultural stigma. These pressures can be overwhelming, and range from family and generational differences to bi-cultural marginalization. Because of this, rates of depression and anxiety are extremely high among Asians and Asian-Americans. Such distress can impair mood, hinder school and work achievement, lead to social isolation, and cause a sense of shame or “loss of face.”
We rarely hesitate to—or feel ashamed of—seeking help for physical suffering, such as a broken leg or fever. Why should obtaining support for the mind be any different?
