117. Mental Health Challenges

Author: LGBTQ+ Podcast by Jojo & Dayra November 18, 2024 Duration: 1:03:44
  • In this episode, we talk about the mental health challenges LGBTQ+ Latinas face, including cultural stigma and the pressure of balancing multiple identities. We also discuss the difficulties of finding mental health care that understands both cultural and LGBTQ+ needs, and how we can break the stigma around mental health in these communities. Tune in for an honest conversation about healing, support, and the importance of visibility in both Latinx and LGBTQ+ spaces.

    Family Meeting Question

    1. "I met this girl recently and when we met I instantly felt a vibe. The day we met I added her on IG and saw she has a gf. We have met up a few times because I give her private boxing lessons. I have a crush, what is your opinion of why she never mentions her gf?"

    2. "I was a part of a Christian group at 21 and experienced religious trauma from conversion therapy. I left that group and came out officially at 28. I went through therapy and now at 31 I’m in a place to start dating. I met a girl and she’s great.. Should I get wifed up or keep my options open?"
