Studio Talk Podcast: Real Conversations About Mental Health
A Conversation About Bigoted Comments and Posts and Mental Health
Season 2 Episode 9
In this episode our host and co-host discuss how mental health is affected by bigoted comments and posts on social media. They also discuss some of the implications about what to do about it when they as mental health professionals experience bigoted comments from colleagues, friends and family.
The discussion covers this difficult issue and makes an effort to bring it home to the reality of the people who are directly or indirectly affected by them.
Host Xiomara A. Sosa leads the conversation with host Lisa Early. She provides a recent painful and difficult encounter with a friend and what she perceived as a bigoted comment posted on social media by her friend. She discusses why she was affected in a negative way. She disclosed what she chose to do about it and why.
The hosts have an honest and open discussion regarding this subject matter and invite the listeners to share their stories with them in the comments.
As always, Studio Talk Podcast encourages their listeners to provide feedback, comments as well as their opinions and experiences about their own experiences with bigoted comments and posts that impact their mental health. The discussion offers resources and references for listeners to review and examine and listeners are encouraged to do their own research and draw their own conclusions about the issues discussed. As with most issues, there are negatives and positives found and the co-hosts recognize that as reality and have an honest conversation about it.
