Culture and Context in Mental Health
Ronald Lay has spent the last ten years working as an art therapy educator, and he shares his observations of the local mental health scene in the last decade. Notably, there are significant cultural differences between the East and the West, and while some stigmas are rooted in cultural prejudices, there are some Eastern values that also support the mental health of the community in Singapore.
