Her work in post traumatic stress disorder is revolutionary from a cultural psychiatric perspective based on ancient and current Chilean wisdom traditions. Ms Vargas woks with Siempre Amigos, a Eugene bilingual and bicultural mental health program serving survivors of torture, trauma and political violence from Central and South America. She wants the gathering to focus the community on “the urgency for a political response by citizens to the persistent and widespread practice of torture, as well as for a personal commitment to support victims of torture in our community.” The meeting is at the Whiteaker Community Building on the corner of Clark and North Jackson. For further information you may call Anand at 541 343-3017.
