Cultural Identity and Depression – 27th November 2017

Cultural Identity and Depression – 27th November 2017

In his 2017 JF lecture, Cultural Identity and Depression, Professor Dinesh Bhugra notes that depression is a universal experience, yet the language used to describe it can differ widely and the meanings and symptoms vary according to individuals, culture and religious inclination.  It is followed from those clinical observations that different cultures deal with depression in very different ways.  Given these almost infinite variations, he suggests that these days mental health is too important to be left just to the ‘experts’, and that we all need to get involved and offer understanding and support.

Social Media Survey

Dear All,

 

Hope you have had an enjoyable summer. 

 

We are in the process of reviewing the Janki Foundation's social media content, which includes our website. 

 

Studies have indicated that different healthcare professionals have variable use of social media platforms, and they will make recommendations to patients or colleagues based on their confidence and reliability of information. In the current climate of healthcare crisis and information overload, we would benefit from an understanding on how spirituality-related information is accessed by healthcare professionals. This will enable us to focus our messages, events and outreach. 

 

We would greatly welcome your valuable thoughts through this survey. It is anonymous and will take less than 10 minutes to complete. 

 

Thank you.

Best wishes, 

JF Social Media Review Group
