Conversations with Multiethnic Families about Donation

The Gifted Life: Organ, Tissue and Eye Donation Podcast

Show Notes: August is National Multiethnic Donor Awareness Month, and in this episode we connect with Chavon Trahan, a Tissue Family Advocate with LOPA. Chavon walks us through how she personally connects with multiethnic families to explain the opportunity to give the gift of donation, and how she addresses families' concerns about common myths. Then we discuss ways to recognize that it might be time to seek professional help for mental health, and Lisa shares the following resources: National Institute of Mental Health/NIMH, www.nimh.nih.gov and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), www.samhsa.gov, then search Office of Behavioral Health Equity. Our donor hero this episode is Linden Gray.
