Zuryanette Reyes Borrero, CVT bilingual case manager, and Léonce Byimana, director of U.S. clinical services, are quoted in this article about the ongoing mental health crisis at the U.S. Southern border and the ever-growing need for care. Zury says, “We get people at their most vulnerable. Some don’t even realize they’re in the U.S.” And Léonce speaks about how people experienced trauma not only in their past but also during their journey to the border. He says, “The estimated level of need is at least five times higher than we support.”
