MENTAL HEALTH & WELLNESS by Leslie Priscilla, founder of LatinxParenting. br br LatinxParenting is an organization dedicated to bringing trauma-informed healing-centered family education to the Latinx community, in a way that is culturally relevant, accessible, and compassionate. Her work emphasizes the importance of helping families heal intergenerational traumas so that every child can grow up knowing what it truly means to experience care, compassion, and love in the home. br br Amidst the recent ICE raids that have terrorized our communities, we saw an outpouring of support from people everywhere. We saw massive protests, people organizing ICE watch patrols in their neighborhoods, mutual aid efforts to provide food, funds, and other resources for families in need, and much more. But something that is often overlooked during these kinds of crises is the mental health support that parents and children need to help them process the stress, the fear, and the anxiety that arise. br br In this session, Leslie Priscilla will discuss what those impacts are. She will examine the collective impact that a crisis like this can have on a community, the individual impacts it can have on our children and their development, as well as share ways that we can work collaboratively to provide trauma-informed support for our families during these times.
