Where is the Mental Health Community Amidst a Genocide?
<p>It has been over 100 days since the October 7 siege on Gaza. One hundred days of ongoing genocide, with the death toll surpassing 25,000 people. We’ve borne witness to this ethnic cleansing every single day, seeing with out own eyes death, despair, and insurmountable pain. There seems to be no end to Israel’s seventy-five-year long violent occupation of Palestine.</p>
<p>I am a licensed social worker and associate trauma therapist. I consider myself to be an anti-oppressive and trauma informed mental health professional. As a Honduran-American, I stand in solidarity with the resistance and struggles all over the world. And as the genocide continues to unfold, I wonder: where is the majority of the mental health community during this catastrophically traumatizing event?</p>
