What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

On January 19 2024 me Wally, Jack, and Luca interviewed Marika Condos. She has been a therapist for the past 25 years and has worked as a private therapist and also for CMHs. This interview was a great way for us to learn about unspoken parts of gun violence and the mental state of people who go to therapy. One fact we learned that had great importance is people who are mentally unstable, are not all violent and try to cause harm to other people, only about 2.5% of mentally unstable people are aggressive. Me and my group are so lucky we were able to meet with Marika and she was so willing to answer all of our questions.
