How do we deal with mental health stigma in Arab and Muslim Communities and seek help?
While mental health stigma exists in most societies and cultures including the US culture, Arab and Muslim Communities might face unique challenges with regard to seeking mental health services. The stereotypes, prejudice, public-stigma, and discimination that target Arab and Muslim Communities could create barriers to seeking help. Through coming together, sharing ideas and engaging in activities we hope to break the silence and talk about mental health issues and stigma in Arab and Muslim Communities. We will discuss culturally specific presentations of mental health problems in Arab and Muslim Communities and ways to find help.
