Unawa is a Filipino word that means "to understand". When it comes to Filipino youth wellness and mental health, there's not a lot that's understood. Created as a collab with Heart of YEG, join us as we explore various themes to understand these uncharted waters and break down the stigma surrounding it. Note: With our merger with Heart of YEG, this series has ended but talks continue under HOYtalk with a different focus! Check out the latest episode for details.

Episode 4, Part 1 - Where Can I Go For Help? ft. Emma Potter from CMHA Edmonton

The pandemic has taken a toll on everyone’s mental health: likely for you too. When it comes to getting help, we might not even know where to go. In fact, we might not even know WHEN it’s time to get help. That’s why we’re talking to a couple of organizations to figure all this out.

In part one, April chats with Emma Potter from the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Edmonton to find out what resources are available – including for Filipinos. Emma talks about who they are, their free services (with some available in other languages), and she offers some key advice for our mental health during these chaotic times.

Sidenote: CMHA is a Canada-wide organization so there’s probably a local one near you: cmha.ca/find-your-cmha. Below are some numbers/links that Emma mentioned.
