Is it attention seeking or mental health issues? - a podcast by Ajä, Ayen & Nyakelei

It’s without a doubt there’s soo much going on within our African communities and more specifically our South Sudan community that we sweep under the rug or express through other channels.
In today’s episode we discuss the taboo topic that is mental health. We will discuss our personal opinions on how we think we as the African community are handling such issues.

Questions:
-are we as a community aware of mental health issues in our community (stigmas around it)
-why is mental health such a taboo topic in our community
-do you think children’s mental health issues get overlooked more then adult mental health issues
-what should we as the Sudanese community do more to combat this mental health issues
-do you think that the spike of mental health issues particularly depression and anxiety is higher for the people that have migrated to Australia thank it is for the people that are back home or not??
-do you think that mental health issues are impacting our parents more then us and we as kids are not recognising or acknowledging it (eg Facebook live)
