In this episode of Being Human, Dr. Chua Sook Ning speaks with Dr. Lindsay Sheehan and Santee Blakey from the Illinois Institute of Technology about Honest, Open, & Proud - a peer-led programme supporting people to make thoughtful decisions about mental health disclosure.Drawing on Lindsay’s work in counselling, rehabilitation science, and health disparities research, alongside Santee’s experience in community engagement, advocacy, and HOP facilitation, the conversation explores how stigma works both publicly and internally.Together, they discuss what makes HOP’s approach to disclosure distinctive, why empowered choice sits at the centre of the programme, and how conversations about openness, safety, and mental health stigma may translate across different cultural contexts, including Southeast Asia.--To learn more about Relate Malaysia and its services, visit www.relate.com.my
