Jocelyn Hernandez | DREAM Iowa Scholarship Recipient

“I know receiving mental health services is a highly stigmatized experience within our communities, and I want to change that narrative. I want to normalize taking care of our mental health just like we might do with our physical health, asking for help should be viewed as a strength not a weakness. I envision my practice as a healing house, providing more than traditional therapy options and incorporating practices our ancestors have used to build resilience within our community and heal holistically from traumatic experiences.”
