Hello and Salaam Jigars and Jaans!!
Today's episode focuses on Afghan American communities and how we can make them into better safe spaces. I discuss some powerful points that were provided by @thelanterninitiative (follow them on instagram) in which we can keep an eye out for certain individuals in the communities. Individuals who may be struggling with their mental health, fighting a battle with addiction, or people who are just feeling lonely may need more help than others. With this episode, I aim to provide tips, resources and ideas on what we can do to make these individuals feel comfortable and possibly save their lives.
