KACU s Heather Claborn speaks with Susanna Lubanga, director of the Abilene office of the International Rescue Committee, about anticipated changes to refugee regulations under President Biden.
Some of the first actions President Biden took after his inauguration were aimed at reversing the course President Trump had set on immigration. He halted work on the border wall, lifted a ban on travel from Muslim countries, and restored DACA, a program President Obama initiated. But refugees are still waiting for action on their behalf. Refugees apply for entry into the U.S. seeking escape from war, persecution, or personal threats in their home countries. President Trump had lowered the maximum number of refugees that would be accepted by the U.S. to a historic low of just 15,000 for this year. President Biden has said he’d like to increase the cap on refugees to 125,000. But it will take time.

KACU s Heather Claborn speaks with Dr. Sherry Rosenblad about the benefits of gratitude on mental health.
The Texas Senate Health and Human Services Committee heard testimony on documented increases in suicides, substance abuse, and depression, related to COVID-19. The pandemic has affected every part of life, from health to isolation and job loss. The families of more than 300,000 Americans are grieving their loss.
A poll conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation earlier this year showed that 53% of adults in the United states reported that the coronavirus pandemic had negatively impacted their mental health. 36% of respondents reported difficulty sleeping, 32% indicated changes to their eating; and 12% said their alcohol or substance use had increased.
