RE: New Working Paper on Farmworker Mental Health

[Guest guest]

In my humble

opinion, having lived through the challenges so eloquently defined by the authors

of this working paper, having learned from the pain and anguish generated by

the dissonance of separation, and having addressed these issues in training I conduct

for mental health workers, including promotoras and promotores working with

immigrant and migrant families afflicted by domestic violence – I can only say SUPERB

WORK!! While I have not read the paper in detail, the preliminary scan gave me a

good snapshot. I will include the paper as one of my required readings for my

cross-cultural medicine seminar for PA students, after I secure appropriate permissions,

of course.

I urge the

authors to submit their work for presentation at different forums where health

and mental health workers gather.
