Featured on CBS Mornings: First-generation immigrant shares mental health struggles with viral TikTok video

Recently, I was asked by CBS Mornings for my perspective on first-generation immigrants sharing about their experiences on Tiktok. Social media has given many folks the opportunity to realize that they are not alone in their struggles, and that many others feel the same as they do. Many immigrants, especially those of the first-generation, face stress to both acculturate to the dominant culture of the United States while also facing pressure to uphold the values of their families and native cultures. This experience, called acculturative stress, can leave many feeling like they are failing at both. Watch this clip from the CBS segment to see how one woman was impacted, but found community via Tiktok.
