The South Asian youth of SAMAHH will be actively promoting mental wellness and with their peers, families and communities through a new mental health youth ambassador program funded by the Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions.
There are 3.5 million truckers in the United States. State the LA times article. half of those in California are immigrants, most from Mexico or Central America.
