Gone are the days where mental health is spoken about in hushed tones - or are they? We talk about mental health much more openly today but that doesn’t mean the stigma is no longer there. On this episode of Mind Matters, we’ll be exploring what mental health stigma looks like today and how it continues to harm, with Hasbeemasputra Abu Bakar, Community Engagement & Lived Experience Advocate, from SIUMAN and Shaleen Chrisanne, a clinical psychologist.
