    I’m honestly happy to say that mental health has never be so talked about. Has never been less of a taboo. People are sharing their experiences, seeking therapy, and supporting one another in ways that would have been rare just a generation ago. However, in many other cultures, mental health is still a sensitive topic— often misunderstood, downplayed, or associated with shame. While some communities, and America as a whole, are beginning to embrace conversations about mental health, not everyone is. This can even vary from household to household.
