The CUNY SPS Latinx Student Union hosts an open and safe-space discussion on how social injustices impact our everyday lives. The workshop will focus on examples of social injustice within the Latin community and include ways we can overcome them as a community. According to the American Psychological Association, 50% of Latino patients do not return after their first therapy session. We believe the only way to have fair representation is by fueling knowledge and creating a safe place for ourselves and others. Every step counts towards making a change and making our communication and organization equitable to all.
