Kapwa Kulture Podcast
The Kapwa Kulture Podcast is a weekly show where we talk about how mental health and wellbeing can be viewed through different aspects of the Filipinx-American culture. As a training psychologist and Doctoral Intern for the APA Accredited Internship in Health Services Psychology at California State University, Northridge, I am working alongside University Counseling Services to explore how the unique experiences of Filipinx identifying folks interact with their passions for wellbeing and learn more about how we can take steps toward moving forward in our mental health journeys. This podcast is for people from all cultural backgrounds wanting to experience connection by listening to and learning about how the Filipinx culture can highlight the beauty of shared similarities and differences.

Community, Hospitality, and Utang Na Loob
We’re talking about some core Filipinx values this week with Dr. Lesther Papa! Join us as Lesther shares more about his recent experiences of community while visiting the Philippines and three different tiers of Filipinx hospitality. Lesther and Ruth also talk about ‘utang na loob’ and how this value can be viewed from the lens of gratitude rather than relational indebtedness. Follow us on Instagram at @kapwakulturepod and @csun_counselingservices for more details and updates each week! We'll pause here and pick back up next Friday. See you then!
