Mental Note: Journeys Of Health And Recovery

Mario Gonzalez moved to the United States when he was only three years old as the son of undocumented immigrants who followed seasonal harvests up and down the West Coast. As a result, his childhood was filled with constant change, insecurity, & financial stress.  Determined to build a life of greater stability, Mario chose to focus on school and finding a legal foothold in the US. His path has been one of bravery, heartbreak, and determination. You won’t want to miss it! Today’s episode - in collaboration with the podcast I Know Lonely and non-profit Only 7 Seconds - explores Mario’s upbringing, how he manages clinically diagnosed anxiety and depression, and what empowers him to stay present as his legal status remains unresolved. ___ Resources: Help with loneliness and isolation: only7seconds.com  I Know Lonely Podcast: only7seconds.com/podcast  Mental Note Podcast: www.mentalnotepodcast.com Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center Website: www.pathlightbh.com  Free Group Support: www.pathlightbh.com/suppor
