Spanish for Community—a FHIS Experiential and Community Engaged Learning initiative—invites you to attend a discussion with Stefanía Cardonetti (Argentina) and Dr. Rafael Casas (Spain) on mental health.

¿Qué es la salud mental y cómo se pierde? ¿Qué puede poner en riesgo nuestra salud mental? ¿Cuáles son los signos y síntomas de una pérdida de salud mental (tanto en nosotros como en alguien cercano)? ¿Cómo se cuida la salud mental? ¿Cómo podemos hablar de este tema – por ejemplo, con un familiar o compañero/a? Desde dos perspectivas, una histórica, y la otra de la práctica clínica, estas dos charlas ahondarán en estos temas.
