Mental Health in the Borderlands

Two Aggies represent NMSU at a health fairSix staff members from the Aggie Health & Wellness Center were able to attend the first Bi-National Mental Health Conference in late March in El Paso, Texas. This event sought to establish a binational academic-community network in the field of mental health, which serves as a platform and meeting forum to strengthen training, improved access to services and reduced stigma associated with mental disorders, seeking a positive impact on mental health promoters and the community in the Paso del Norte region.
