How do you deal with the high level of mental illness stigma in families of color? #Minoritymentalhealth

I’m from a Hispanic family. It means that my mental illness is something to be ashamed of, something to hide, something to ignore. It’s part of Hispanic culture. My family is super hesitant to help me find professional help and often belittles my struggles with anxiety and depression. Other than arguing and fighting with them, what other options are there?
