EP4: Being You(ng) (Voices of Croatia)
In this episode of Feelin’ @Live, we explore the powerful connection between identity and mental health. How do aspects like gender, sexuality, race, and cultural background shape our experiences with wellbeing? We dive into intersectionality and minority stress, and unpack how being different from the "norm" can impact access to support, feelings of inclusion, and the overall mental health journey.
We also reflect on how free we feel to express and define our identities, and what helps us feel truly seen and supported. Together, we ask: what needs to change in our communities and systems to make mental health resources more inclusive—and more human?
