This episode we speak to Mrs. EC Vega.  She is a bilingual licensed professional counselor in the Virginia area, and we discuss mental health within the Spanish speaking community.  We touch on perceived stigmas, barriers and solutions to providing mental health to our Spanish speaking patients.  Mrs. Vega hosts her own podcast called Pulso Mental, a Spanish language mental health podcast.  The segments are short, and easy to understand and provide valuable tidbits that can help our Spanish speaking community better understand mental health.
