“Different cultures have different perspectives on the topic of mental health. On this #TherapyThursday, Dr. Topaz is joined by Keshia Cameron, MA, LCSW who is a Program Coordinator at Columbia University and psychotherapist.”

Listen as these ‘Caribbean Girls’ discuss their heritage and its intersection with mental wellness and the associated stigmas that span generations…and run deep. Their topics are serious, but their storytelling and laughter make them relatable. If you normally sip on coffee or tea while listening to Dr. Topaz, switch it up and grab a tropical smoothie for this one.

April is Autism Awareness Month which was established to encourage greater awareness of autism spectrum disorder, celebrate neurodiversity, and foster inclusion for autistic individuals and their families. On this #TherapyThursday, Dr. Topaz talks autism with Dr. Dana, a double-boarded child and adolescent psychiatrist with degrees from Dillard University, Boston University, and Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Dana is passionate about increasing acceptance for the field of psychiatry within the Black community, and informing about autism in simple, easy to understand terms. Need support with a possible autism diagnosis? Now is not the time to rely on TikTok, social media and online boards. You deserve individualized attention and a specific diagnosis. Clarity is your friend.
