While the coronavirus pandemic rapidly swept across the world, Dr. Ramirez-Cook recognized how mental health challenges began to rise significantly due to the varying amount of stressors and elevated anxiety. “People are really struggling. This has been a challenging time for all of us, and having access to mental healthcare is especially difficult due to the stigma and negative perceptions our community have towards mental health disease. It’s amazing the positive response people can have in their lives when they can be heard,” she says.
