With Pamela & Myriam

Monday, October 11 @ 11:00 am PST
Latinas and Mental Health: Busting Barriers and Embracing Recovery With Pamela & Myriam
- The contrast – and often the clashing – of internal and external cultural values from family to the modern world
- The common threads amongst Latinas and the diversity that also exists within
- What happens when Latinas develop (or start to display) mental health issues
- The challenges both have faced in their personal narratives: facing the stigma in their culture, and the need for greater resources on a systemic front
- How we can all help the Latina community to embrace recovery
Join us LIVE for a Q & A session following the presentation.
About Pamela Rueda Devenport
Pamela is a Certified Life Coach, Recovery Coach, and SHE RECOVERS Coach. For decades, she used alcohol as a way to self-medicate. Eventually, she quit through the 12-Steps, but after 5 years of lackluster sobriety, she fell into a long, painful, 2-year relapse. Getting sober again, Pamela knew “just sobriety” wouldn’t be enough, so she embarked on a journey to find the radical honesty and integrity she’d been missing. The result? Pamela founded My Badass Recovery in 2017 – a no b.s. online platform that looks at recovery in a new way. Through online courses and coaching, she teaches people how to start a powerful sobriety, and (truly) love the “new version” of themselves:
