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.

Setting Boundaries and Supporting Others with Mental Health Struggles
This week, Dr. Gemariah Valencia Williams and Jemima Ruth talk about how to care for family, friends, or loved ones struggling with their own mental health issues. We discuss how to respectfully set boundaries, acknowledge cultural norms, and be more open with conversations about different types and levels of support and care. Gem and Jemima Ruth later share about the concept of being "good enough" and how freeing this mindset can be when we sometimes feel stuck in a perfectionistic way of being. 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!
