According to the USDA, over 38 million Americans do not know where their next meal will come from. At least one in six people in North Texas is food insecure, and the food insecurity rate in Dallas County is 47 percent higher than the national average. With food insecurity such an invisible but prominent factor, the question is, 'How does food insecurity affect one's mental health?

We are happy for you to join us for Episode 106 part 2 “Who’s Really Suffering: Food Security & Mental Health”. For this month's podcast episode, we will be discussing food insecurity’s impact on mental health, how the pandemic is driving food insecurity amongst ethnic minorities in low-income communities, and how to find resources to alleviate food insecurity in your community.

NiEtta will host our podcast to help us understand the effect that food scarcity has on mental health in demoralize communities. This podcast aims to spread awareness with regards to mental health, community, and how marginalized communities can get the help they need.
