    Ask Your Ates: Culture, Code-Switching and Control

    Welcome to Ask Your Ates - A Filipinx Mental Health Podcast featuring Cynthia Siadat & Michelle Mercado Martinez For this episode, we talk about how culture influences our mental health - but first we ask, what is culture? How is culture defined and how does it affect how we show up in different context? We discuss code-switching and the different ways of operating based on our Filipinx cultural upbringing. We also ask about how culture informed our journey of mental health. When did we realize that our perception of control was influenced by our generational trauma? How did our lived experiences lead to us build our empathic skills in reading our family and community? We also touch on 'kapwa' and how this value could be tainted based on our negative experience with community but not necessarily with culture.  Tune in as we discuss topics about mental health centered on the Filipinx experience. Join us on the journey to destigmatize, decolonize and normalize mental health in the Filipino diaspora. We want to hear from you! What questions do you have about mental health?
