Edición Semanaria: Network of Therapists Helps Migrants and Activists with Mental Health Problems

Network of Therapists Helps Migrants and Activists with Mental Health Problems - Immigration restrictions and hostile rhetoric against the undocumented have had a heavy emotional toll, not only for migrant families, but also for the activists who advocate for them.

Using technology made mandatory due to pandemic restrictions, the new aid network is helping heal the trauma of organizers and immigrants under stress by reinforcing the power of their culture and identity. Valeria Fernández brings details from Phoenix.
