In this focus group, participants discuss challenges with job loss, university closures and the transition to remote learning, working from home, and how these challenges affected their mental health. They also share about the health disparities they see in their own communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants share strategies they have used to be supportive to the people around them, and discuss some positive outcomes of the pandemic.
