We’ll start by examining cultural beliefs, values, and traditions that shape attitudes toward emotional struggles. You’ll learn how some cultures see mental health issues as medical conditions requiring professional help, while others consider them personal or spiritual matters best handled within the community or religious settings. We’ll discuss how communication styles vary between cultures—some encouraging open emotional expression, others viewing it as shameful or inappropriate—and how stigma impacts individuals’ willingness to seek support. The role of family and community expectations will also be highlighted, showing how they influence attitudes toward therapy. Additionally, we’ll look at how past experiences of discrimination or bias can affect marginalized groups’ trust in mental health services.
