Mental health is something we all have.
There may be periods where our mental health is negatively impacted due to external stressors - such as poverty, workplace issues, family and relationship issues, dealing with racism and/or other forms of intersecting discriminations, loneliness and isolation, abuse, dealing with trauma, or navigating the complex asylum system. For some, issues with our mental health may be chronic and ongoing. |

On top of dealing with the symptoms of mental health conditions themselves, we may face additional difficulties - whether that be stigma experienced due to having mental health issues, barriers of access to health services, or exhaustion from feeling like you must "put on a happy face".
At Hwupenyu, we want to break down these barriers, and provide you with emotional + practical support if you are experiencing mental distress.
We are here if you need a culturally competent listening ear, whether you have a diagnosed condition or not.
