Mental health is a great topic when it comes to our generation, especially college students. I would say mental health is usually ignored when it comes to traditional Asian families. Adding on, mental health is considered sort of a myth in many Asian families but has been more acknowledged in recent years. I’m glad that my family acknowledges mental health now as much as I do, especially times when I face great stress, my family always supports me. For Northeastern students, midterm/finals season and co-op search are typically times when students face more stress and mental health concerns from my experience. Although I have more mental fortitude built up throughout my life, mental health is not my strong suit, so comment on some ways you deal with your stress!
