Manage episode 416142574 series 3519350
Sometimes when AAPI clients first encounter mental health issues, it may occur in the medical context. It can be helpful for mental health professionals to consider the importance of the mental and physical health connection. Additionally, speaking to different reasons for why mental health treatment may be needed and addressing different components of access can be beneficial for the client. Listen to our conversation with Dr. Namrata Nanavaty Vasquez as she discusses how clinicians can be diligent about connecting and exploring those topics within the therapy environment.
