What is Magandang Mind?
Magandang means beautiful. A reminder that our minds are beautiful and our mental health is to be cared for.
This community is dedicated to sharing stories about the intersection of Filipino culture and mental health. Mental health isn’t limited to mental illness. Mental health involves our emotional health, our support systems, our romantic relationships, our academic lives, our families and what we pass on to each generation, etc. Whether you’re a Filipino in the homeland, Fil-Am, Filipinos living in other countries, halo-halo (mix-mix ;) ), etc., come with your questions, your stories, your experiences, and let’s talk about mental health!
About Me
Hello, everyone! My name is Kassandra Camille (KC) Galang, and I am a doctorate of clinical psychology (PsyD) student at Azusa Pacific University in Southern California. In this field, I haven’t met a lot of other Filipino mental health professionals, so I wanted to create a community where we could connect with each other and share stories about our experience with our culture and mental health with others. Whether you’re a mental health professional or someone interested in mental health, please come join the discussion! I hope this can be a space where we can connect with and hear from Filipino mental health professionals and other Filipinos on our journey through mental health.
