Breaking Stigma: Advocating for Mental Health in the Haitian Community


In a magnificent ode to Haitian Heritage Month, I found myself in a truly special role, gracing the panel at an event orchestrated by the visionary Careen Coaching. Our discussion? A captivating exploration of the vital need for transparency, authenticity, and empathy within the Haitian community's journey toward Mental Health, Emotional Mastery, and Self-Acceptance.



The Haitian population, like many others, faces unique challenges when it comes to addressing mental health. Stigma has long been a burden, preventing open conversations and access to much-needed support. However, this summit was a beacon of hope, shedding light on these crucial issues.


As an honored panelist, I had the opportunity to contribute insights and perspectives on mental health within the Haitian community. It was an incredible experience to be part of a conversation that aimed to break down barriers and encourage a more compassionate approach to mental well-being.


I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Careen Coaching for spearheading this initiative. Their dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to these important discussions are truly commendable. Initiatives like these are instrumental in dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health, not only within the Haitian community but also in societies at large. Together, we embarked on a journey to craft a world that breathes empathy and understanding, where mental well-being isn't shrouded in silence and shame but celebrated in all its facets.
