Level: Asian
Shame & Silence in Mental Health, Why You’re Not Defined By Your Mental Health & Opening Healthy Family Discussions ft. Emily Unity | Ep. 77
In this episode of the Level: Asian podcast, we’re joined by Mental Health Advocate, Emily Unity!
Emily shares her powerful story navigating childhood trauma and mental health challenges to become a voice for change. She opens up about how her diagnosis allowed her to make sense of her experiences and understand how to create safe spaces to support others with their journeys.
Emily also discusses how mental health symptoms can present differently for women and men, the need for representation in advocacy work and her framework for opening vulnerable and constructive conversations - as well as the power that holds, especially as Asian Australians, refugees and migrants.
Enjoy the episode!
