In his first month back in office, President Donald Trump has enacted sweeping and controversial changes impacting many in the San Diego region. From toughening rules on immigration to targeting federal diversity, equity and inclusion programs, from an effort to ban transgender soldiers from serving in the military to a push for federal workers to resign, the scope of change can feel overwhelming.

On Midday Edition Tuesday, we hear from San Diego therapists on how recent events have been impacting their practices. They also share tips on what people can do to maintain mental wellness during stressful times.

Guests:

Lizeth Ma, marriage and family therapist

Jan Estrellado, clinical psychologist, associate professor, Alliant International University
