Effects of Culture, Gender & Disability on Self Perception

The presentation by Edith Wasike Sakwa, a Counseling Psychologist at Flourish Counselling Services, explores how culture, gender, and disability shape self-awareness. It discusses how socialization, gender roles, language, stereotypes, and access affect self-perception. It also delves into how collectivist vs. individualist cultures, moral stories, emotional expression, and gender expectations influence identity. The presentation emphasizes the impact of disability on self-view, highlighting internalized stigma, reduced opportunities, and the importance of inclusion. It also addresses intersectionality, the overlapping of identities, and the need for tailored support. Practical actions to promote emotional literacy, challenge harmful messages, create inclusive spaces, and support peer groups are suggested. Ultimately, the presentation encourages individuals to name what shaped them, challenge limits, redefine themselves, and embrace their full identity to improve mental health.
