University of Auckland PhD candidate Lovely Dizon speaks with me in this episode about the under-served mental health needs of 1.5 generation Asian young people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our conversation includes:
- A discussion of the burden of carrying the weight of family expectations, balanced with trying to figure out what is important to you and who you are
- What is lacking from current systems of healthcare and how they fail Asian youth
- The role that being a 1.5 generation migrant plays in the mental health of young Asian youth
Plus much, much more - Lovely is a 1.5 generation Filipino Kiwi and a final year PhD candidate based in the School of Population Health at the University of Auckland. Her research interests include Asian youth health, youth mental health and ethnic identity. She is passionate about amplifying and advocating for greater representation of ethnic minority voices and experiences, creating space for destigmatising conversations around mental health, and improving access to health services.
