Speaking from the heart about Palestinian Mental Health

On 8/18/25 I was honored to speak at MCC about "Mental Resilience Under Occupation: Action Steps for Palestine." I shared what I witnessed and learned as part of a mental health delegation that traveled to Palestine 3 months ago. We had met with Palestinian organizers, activists, academics, and medical providers, all of whom risked their lives to meet with us. It was a moving experience for me to speak from the heart, about the personal and professional, and I hope that it does those I met with justice.
