We Don’t Talk About That

About

The purpose of the CNAHS x African Students Association Mental Health Awareness Event is to create an open and supportive space to discuss mental health and the stigma surrounding mental health within African communities. This event will encourage students to have honest conversations about cultural and family perspectives on mental health and balancing cultural expectations with personal well-being. Key activities will include hot-takes-like discussions where there will be open conversation.

The CNAHS x African Students Association Mental Health Awareness Event aims to create a safe and comfortable space for students to talk about mental health and how it can be viewed differently across African and Black communities.
