Our blog this week discusses an interesting and thought-provoking peer-reviewed research paper titled “Mental Illness Stigma and Help-Seeking Attitudes of Students with Immigrant Parents.” It was written by Danna Bismar and Chiachih DC Wang and published in the Journal of College Counseling in July of 2021. In the research paper, the authors explore the relationship between the mental illness stigma that college-age children of immigrants may hold and their subsequent willingness to pursue professional help. As part of this investigation, the authors also examine in depth the role of two other factors: the communication between parent and child around issues of mental health and the gap that exists between parent and child regarding levels of assimilation to the U.S.

As a result, in today’s workplace, the state of mental health has seen a quick decline. Even as we slowly transition back to our ‘normal’ lives, there needs to be a concerted effort by employers across the country to integrate mental health into the workplace.
