This looks like an important and fascinating chat---and i'd love to join but I'm committed to another event at the same time. I'd LOVE to learn more about the work people are doing so if there is a way to share information that would be great. I'm at Univ. of Delaware Cooperative Extension working on a USDA grant related to farm/ag workers stress and mental health issues. We have created a working group that is focussed on the LatinX community in the Northeast so this is perfectly timed.
