It’s the Friday before Memorial Day weekend! Perhaps you’re already headed to the campsite, or to your mother-in-law’s house, or maybe you envision a quiet weekend at home. No matter what your fancy, MCN has a few great suggestions on what to read this weekend, including one Weekly Win. 

Kaethe forwarded the recordings from the recent Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health's Climate, Health, and Equity Symposium 2023

Jillian sent this Tiktok news video (in Spanish) on a tragic car accident that killed seven farmworkers. She received the video from MCN colleague Mary Jo Ybarra. “This highlights one of the often-overlooked risks that agricultural workers face,” Jillian said.

Robert recommended this podcast episode from Farm to Table Talk on the Spanish-language hotline offered by MCN and Farm Aid, with an interview with Farm Aid's Hotline Program Manager Caitlin Arnold Stephano. Farm Mental Health

Claire shared this WBEZ segment on Cook County Health’s new clinic for the thousands of asylum seekers that Chicago has received in recent months. Cook County Health is Bracing for a Financial Storm to Pay for Migrants’ Health Care

Weekly Win: When Kaethe sent over this Washington Post article, no one at MCN could have guessed it would create such a reaction among staff – turns out, several MCNers rely on birdsong and nature for their own well-being, and we recommend you do, too! Why not seek out birdsong this weekend? Why Birds and Their Songs are Good for Our Mental Health

Have a safe and healthy weekend!
