Caregiving and Mental Health Stigma in My Asian American Family

Trinh Dang grew up in a household that didn’t recognize mental health conditions. Yet she found herself caring for her grandmother, who had symptoms of serious mental illness. Her family faced many challenges immigrating to America. While learning to live in a new culture, they didn’t have the language or tools to understand mental health conditions. Today, Trinh is a mental health leader and advocate for her grandmother, so that others don't have to feel alone.
