Exploring Mental Health and other Cultural Differences Between Japan and North America

Nolan Yuma

Nov 08, 2022

Nolan Yuma and Ikue Ueno discuss the different ways Japan and Canada address mental health issues. They also discuss how culture shapes work ethic and self-esteem. Ikue draws from her immigration and acculturation experience to explain what it feels like to be Japanese and Canadian.

Visit Ikue's LinkTree to learn more about Ikue's professional dance life and the Human Garage Project.

Most of the information Nolan Yuma used was from the textbook Cultural Psychology by Steven J. Heine.
