Episode 7: Mina Attia, PhD: How can we do better with kids who immigrate here?

Immigration is a hot topic and holds a lot of stigma. There are misunderstandings of what immigration looks like. Who are these people? What are their stories? Why did they come here? I asked Mina some questions about his own experiences as an asylum seeker. Mina immigrated to the US as a child and was open about the prejudices of others. Mina has channeled his experiences and now teaches graduate students who are training to become therapists at George Washington University.

Curious who the heck Tamer Hosny is? Yes, he came up a lot.  I'm sorry but also not sorry at all. https://www.instagram.com/tamerhosny/
