Cross-Cultural Mental Health - SE02EP05

This month we have a two-part special airing this month and next! In this first part, host Quyn Le, interviews Dr. Soma Ganesan, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UBC. Dr. Soma Ganesan was born in Vietnam and came to Canada as a refugee in the early 80s. He was able to overcome many obstacles to become a Psychiatrist. He is also the Founder and Director of the Cross-Cultural Clinic at VGH and a founding member of VAST (Vancouver Association for the Survivors of Torture). Listen as Dr. Soma shares his struggles, successes, and passions for helping refugees and immigrants with their mental health.

Thank you for listening to Vi Can Shine! Our show is supported by The Vietnamese Professional Association of B.C.
