Mental Wellness Mondays: Mental Health Challenges Unique to People Living in The Diaspora with Dr. Goronga [Repost]
While the team takes a well-deserved break, we decided it would be great to extract some of the key Mental Wellness Segments that were embedded in the main podcast before Mental Wellness Mondays became its own podcast. This week, we bring you a discussion of some of the mental health challenges unique to those living in the diaspora, featuring Dr Tinashe Goronga and regular guest Dr Nyarai Paweni.
