Migration and Mental Health: A Jamaican Perspective on Starting Over Abroad

What is the real impact of moving abroad on your mental health? In this episode, we unpack the emotional reality of migration — from identity shifts and cultural expectations to the silent struggles many Caribbean people face when relocating to the UK. We explore how upbringing, community, and environment shape the way we understand and express mental health, and why so many people struggle in silence after leaving home. This conversation highlights the link between migration, identity, and emotional wellbeing, while offering honest insight into what it really takes to navigate life abroad. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fully belong anywhere, this is a conversation you need to hear.
