This week, Affi and Iman cover mental health in the Somali community. They discuss why it is so prevalent, drawing on research from various studies. They share their experience with witnessing people in crisis and misunderstanding it as a personality trait. They also have their very first guest, therapist and coach Nimo Omer, who share her thoughts and experience with mental health in the community. She talks about the importance of seeking therapy as a preventative tool and gives lots of information on what to do to improve one’s mental health. Nimo is also the founder of Serene Therapies, an online therapy service which offers a 30min FREE consultation!
