Data as Resistance: Inside Alejandre Foundation's Support Groups for Rapid Responders

*This episode was recorded Feb 2026. The foundation is currently organizing support groups for families who have had a loved one deported under the current administration.** Today in this episode, I talked with Dr. Yessica Green Rosas about the importance of support groups and rapid responders in our current political climate. We explored how research data collected from pre- and post-tests can be used to advocate for funding, policy change, or expand mental health support for rapid responders. Dr. Yessica shared her experience with mental health and highlighted the importance of pre- and post tests for project like this, and moreover, why research matters.   About Today's Guest: Dr. Green Rosas is a scholar whose research addresses systemic inequities to improve the mental health of Latine children and families.
