!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

California Latinos are not getting the mental health services they need, according to a UC Davis study out this week. The report finds that the stigma of mental illness prevents many Latinos from seeking help, and that there are too few health providers fluent in patients' native languages and cultures. We'll discuss the report and its proposed solutions.
Host: Michael Krasny
Guests:
  • Rachel Guerrero, owner of the Guerrero Consulting Group and former chief of the Office of Multicultural Services for the California Department of Mental Health
  • Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, professor of medicine, director of the UC Davis Center for Reducing Health Disparities and lead author of the report
