Media doesn’t just reflect mental health; it shapes how we understand it. Who gets empathy? Who gets pathologised? Who is edited out completely?

The US Christian Right isn’t just pushing anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-SRHR laws in Africa. They’re reframing reproductive & #QueerRights as “cultural imperialism” at the UN in a global attack on #HumanRights.

Dr Anastacia Tomson reminds us that gender-affirming care is about so much more than hormones or surgery.

Shaheeda Sadeck on #Islamophobia in South Africa: from mosque desecrations to stereotypes linking Muslims with extremism. Despite exclusion, Muslim communities lead in politics & social justice, promoting interfaith solidarity. 🎧 Full ep: www.podbean.com/ew/pb-56sq2-... #SocialJustice #resilience

Gender ideals are unrealistic and isolating, making it harder for anyone to ask for help. By talking openly & vulnerably, and offering compassion, we can resist stereotypes and remind each other that struggling is human, not shameful. #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma

Shaheeda Sadeck on #DecolonialPsychology: challenging colonial structures, integrating cultural & spiritual practices, prioritizing peer & community support, and promoting systemic mental health justice. 🎧 Full ep: #IntersectionalPsychology: intersectionalpsychology.podbean.com/e/ip0201-par...

Inclusion sounds simple — until you ask: who gets to decide who belongs? Pierre Brouard unpacks power, stigma, and the politics of inclusion. ✊ intersectionalpsychology.podbean.com/e/ip0304-big... #InclusionMatters #QueerHealth #TransRightsAreHumanRights #IntersectionalPsychology #EndStigma

“Pro-family” is just PR for hate. As Dr. Haley McEwen explains, the Christian Right defends only the cis-het nuclear model — while branding queer & diverse families “anti-family.” intersectionalpsychology.podbean.com/e/ip0303-god...

What were sexual and reproductive rights in Africa before U.S. Christian Right interference? 🌍 Dr. Haley McEwen highlights Uganda’s progressive HIV/AIDS campaigns — later undermined by abstinence-only policies and anti-LGBTQIA+ laws.

As Dr Anastacia Tomson explains, transition is a kaleidoscope: what’s affirming for one person may differ for another, and all are valid. Even cis people affirm gender. We all navigate the world through a gendered lens. #TransHealth #GenderAffirmingCare #GenderAffirmation

🕯️ Every 40 seconds, someone dies by suicide. That’s 720,000 lives lost every year — and countless more attempts.
Suicide is a global public health issue — as well as an individual tragedy. And like all public health issues, it’s one we can change. 💛

Apartheid shaped the map. 🗺️ Its effects are still felt in our homes. 🏠
RC Neesha Chhiba shares how overcrowded housing affects family life — and why psychology must always consider context.

Stop asking “why?” — start asking “how?” 🌈
Sexual & gender diversity is a natural part of human development. The real question: How can we create space for people to explore who they are without shame, suspicion, or scrutiny? 💜

Transition doesn’t come with a roadmap. 🗺️
Non-medical practices, hormones, surgery — or none of the above — all count. There’s no such thing as a “full transition.” Every journey is equally valid.

LinkedIn calls itself “professional.” But whose idea of professionalism? For some, it’s a space for activism. For others, it’s gatekeeping in a new suit. With moderation being cut back, how safe are marginalised voices there?

Do we want equality to be a guiding value, or are we ready to accept inequality as “normal”? Dr. Haley McEwen challenges us to decide what kind of world we’re building — together. 🌈🤔 #SocialJustice #equity #IntersectionalPsychology #SouthAfricanPodcast #FutureForAll

Family isn't just blood. 💜🌈
Supporting LGBTQIA+ mental health means affirming chosen families & diverse relationships — queer kinship, poly, ace & more. Respect, validation & advocacy are essential.
