Ep. 8: How the Model Minority Hurts You

Community Blog

As BIPOC mental health awareness month draws to a close, we decided it would be a great opportunity for us to explore the model minority myth. In this episode we talk about the origins of the model minority and we explore ways that it has affected us and the communities that we work with. Join us again next week as we explore the therapeutic process.
