Como Vivimos (How We Live) | Migrant Mental Health
Clip: Season 12 Episode 6 | 57sVideo has Closed Captions
How do migrant students fare mentally when school is allowed only part of the academic year?
José Modesto and other migrant high school students attend school for part of the year due to California's strict state housing rules. This not only means they are missing out on academics but time to make friends, commit to afterschool activities like sports and clubs, and go to key social events. In such vulnerable coming of age years, the mental health of students is tested.
