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.

It's Funny, but Also It's Not?
This week, Maria Cristina Castro and Jemima Ruth talk about the helpful and harmful ways humor and positivity can be used within the Filipinx culture as a response to coping through life's experiences. Cristina talks about her journey of helping her family become more open about understanding mental health experiences. Later, Cristina and Ruth also discuss some tips for mental health as well as for those starting their own mental health journeys. 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!
