Hello Everyone, **Please feel free to forward this email to any colleagues and agencies that would be interested in participating.** The California Latinx Psychological Association (CLPA) in partnership with the California Superintendent of Public Instruction invites you to participate in a survey with the goal of creating a statewide low-cost mental health services directory. The ultimate goal is to help minority students bridge the educational gap by helping them and their... families obtain access to needed mental health services. We are hoping to create an extensive directory that encompasses all counties in California. As such, we would appreciate you completing the survey and would also appreciate you sharing the survey with any agency that provides community mental health services. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MHSDirectory

"The so-called first Thanksgiving has been celebrated and taught to schoolchildren as the origin story of what would later become the United States. But many Native Americans say Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the slaughter of millions of Indigenous people and the theft of their lands by outsiders." https://www.wbur.org//native-americans-thanksgiving-mourni
