In this episode, I sit down with Aline Muhimpundu, a licensed addiction counselor, to explore what it truly means to provide culturally competent mental health care for individuals from diverse backgrounds—especially refugees and New Americans.
Aline shares thoughtful insights on how mental health and substance use are viewed in different cultures, and how those perspectives can shape the way people seek help—or don’t. We talk about the importance of cultural humility in counseling, and Aline offers practical tips for recognizing signs and symptoms of mental health or substance use challenges in people who may express distress in unfamiliar or culturally specific ways.
Whether you're a mental health professional, someone working with resettled communities, or simply curious about how culture influences care, this conversation is a must-listen.
