As immigrants, Jacob, we have to go through situations that others can't understand. I don't think they can understand the concept of not having anything.
Imagine moving to a new country, navigating a different culture, and facing the mental health challenges that come with it. In this episode of the Behavioral Health Integration podcast, host Jacob Minnig sits down with Dr. Sugi, a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. Originally from Sri Lanka, Dr. Sugi has a unique perspective on the intersection of immigration and mental health.
She shares her personal journey of overcoming barriers in the United States and provides valuable insights into the struggles immigrants face today. Dr. Sugi's story is one of resilience, coping strategies, and leadership skills honed through her educational experiences across Sri Lanka, India, the UK, and the US. This episode delves into the importance of empathy in mental health care and the need for collaboration among organizations to better support immigrant communities. Dr.
Sugi also introduces Comigo, a new device designed to aid in mental health care. Whether you're an immigrant yourself or someone interested in mental health and substance abuse counseling, this conversation offers a compassionate and hopeful look at overcoming life's toughest challenges.
