In this episode, we highlight someone who’s doing their part to break the stigma!
Jai Gandhi, a psychiatry resident in Seattle, started his own radio show to discuss South Asian mental health.
Jai talks to us about the good and bad of the show, and what he learned about sharing stories with South Asians.
We’ll also hear some of his thoughts on stigma and mental health care.
With our MannMukti podcast series, we aim to connect our listeners with mental health professionals as well as those with lived experiences of mental illness. Our podcasts are often conducted in an interview format, with one or more members of the MannMukti team asking questions of a guest. Each episode features a different guest who can speak to us about a unique topic in South Asian mental health, but the constant theme throughout each podcast is a conversation about stigma.
If you’re interested in learning more about any of the episodes or guests or taking part in a future interview, please feel free to reach out to us at info@mannmukti.org.
We hope you listen, enjoy, share, and… #SpeakUp!
