Immigrant-related PTSD is more than a diagnosis—it’s a reflection of lived experiences across borders, systems, and generations. At Libélula Primary Care, we recognize the deep emotional toll of migration, displacement, and systemic injustice.

On the final day of Hispanic Heritage Month, I had the honor of attending the rebranding launch of the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs (ICHA)—a vibrant celebration of our culture, resilience, and future. Governor Brad Little officially declared September 15 to October 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month in Idaho, saying it was “just in the nick of time.” That moment felt like a warm embrace of our community’s contributions.

This past weekend, I had the honor of attending the Latinos Unidos Conference: Unidos Venceremos, organized by PODER of Idaho. It was more than a gathering—it was a powerful reminder of what it means to show up for one another, to learn in community, and to build toward justice with intention and heart.
