Show Notes

Refugees have a lot to teach us about resilience. Amid all the uncertainty, they work hard to maintain family and community ties, keep up their optimism, and look after their physical and mental health. Our guest for this episode, Dr. Sophia Banu, is a psychiatrist and founder of the Clinic for International Trauma Survivors in Houston, Texas. She has extensive experience working with torture survivors and refugees from countries all over the world.
