Estela Zarate, dean of LMU School of Education, shares how school and community-based mental health professionals can support Latinx and immigrant communities facing challenges due to federal immigration enforcement actions. “If we are serious about children being able to learn fully in the capacity that they have, then we have to address their mental health so that they can be the learners that we want them to be,” said Zarate. LMU’s recent “Form on the State of Youth Mental Health” convened educational leaders and stakeholders to discuss this topic.
