Multicultural Outreach Team Updates!

This month, PPAL's Multicultural Outreach Coordinator Johana Rodriguez visited Boston's Chinatown and met with the community to introduce PPAL in various places, including a martial arts studio! Where will Johana go next? Stay tuned for next month's newsletter!

Johana also met with the Partners for Youth with Disabilities (PYD), based out of Boston. They spoke about the impact of additional disabilities on top of mental health needs, specifically sensory loss such as visual impairment/ blindness.

Sensory Loss & Mental Health: Do You Have A Story To Share?

Sensory loss is the overarching term for a variety of disabilities including full or partial visual impairments, as well as hearing loss/deafness and deaf/blind folks. Just like anyone else, individuals with sensory loss may experience challenges with mental health. Sensory loss complicates the experience and diagnosis of mental health.

Is this your experience with your child?
