Why our current conversation on Mental Health falls apart with Dr. Janina E. Fariñas

Get people talking about the biggest challenges we face, and eventually, the conversation turns to mental health. So why does one of our community's leading neuropsychologists and family therapists believe this is exactly the wrong place to focus our conversation, instead advocating that we turn our attention to belonging? In this episode of The Foothills Deeper Pod, we welcome Dr. Janina Fariñas, Founder and CEO of the award-winning La Cocina. La Cocina is a nonprofit practice-based Latine training institute that has offered no-cost, culturally affirming mental health services to Latine adults, youths, children & infants since March 2017. Rev. Gretchen and Dr. Fariñas will share in a live dialogue considering the ways lack of true belonging and mental illness are tied up together and the real meaning and source of mental health.

From Series: "Sit By Me"

This June, in our series “Sit By Me,” we’re exploring our deeply human longing to belong. Each week we’ll examine the idea that belonging is an inside job, requiring shifts within ourselves to make space for connection, to take the leap of vulnerability, and to do the work of building authentic community.
