Healthy Disruptions: Mental Health

Collaboration of team members: Michelle Burroughs, Amy Dao, Alejandro Echeverria, Sahar Foruzan, Juliet McMullin, Amairani Ramos, Katheryn Rodriguez, Jennifer Syvertsen, Joshua Liashenko Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode, we talk about the mental health impacts of the pandemic in our community. We begin by reflecting on our own mental health and how anxiety, social isolation, and prolonged uncertainty have shaped our lives since early 2020. Next, we check-in with a licensed therapist in the Coachella Valley to get a sense of how providers are navigating increased demand for mental health services. We then amplify the stories of Southern Californians who have experienced impacts to their mental health and highlight their strategies in managing stress and anxiety throughout the pandemic.

Hosts include Joshua Liashenko, Amairani Ramos, and Katheryn Rodriguez.
