The Latinx Mental Health Podcast

Welcome to this special edition of the Latinx Mental Health Podcast! We have decided to come out of our summer break in light of the recent reaction to the border crisis. We felt it was necessary to make this episode because weāve both been watching this crisis unfold for years and feel we can offer an important perspective and tangible tools and ideas for getting involved. In this episode we discuss our own emotional responses to the crisis and the importance of allowing ourselves to process emotions, clear up common misconceptions about the legal system and issues pertaining to immigrant detention, and finally, we offer tangible tools and steps you can take to get involved and join the fight for justice. We do not own the rights to any music in this episode.
