Most people would agree that diversity, equity and inclusion are central to an egalitarian society but if one world view dominates at the expense of others, minorities will continue to be marginalised.
That's the lived experience of Dr Jonathan Mathias Lassiter - an American clinical psychologist and the author of How I Know White People Are Crazy - Notes from a Frustrated Black Psychologist.
Dr Lassiter works primarily with marginalised communities at a time when homophobia, racism and the fear of deportation mean the U.S no longer feels like a safe or welcoming place for many.
An advocate for a more holistic approach to treating mental health, Jonathan talks to Paddy about the importance of cultural humility and coping strategies that everyone can employ.
