As part of Latino USA’s ongoing New American Voices series, reporter Andrew Stelzer presents the story of Minneapolis’ Somali community and the mental health issues being addressed by a community who has experienced the stress of war at home. Egal Shidad uses local media as part of New Routes to Community Health.

Following the reporter piece, Latino USA profiles New Routes to Community Health as a new model of healing immigrant communities through immigrant-made media.
