What if everything you thought you knew about autism and mental health wasn't the full story? Today's conversation might change the way you see it. Welcome to Why Not Me? Embracing autism and mental health worldwide, where real conversations and lived experiences inspire understanding and hope. I'm Tony Mantor. This is where understanding begins. If this kind of conversation matters to you, then follow the show so you don't miss what comes next. Joining us today is Wian Estrada. She is part of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, known as ADRA, a global organization serving communities in need around the world. This is not about titles or roles. It's about lives touched, the challenges faced and the moments that don't always get seen.
Today, we're going beyond the surface to talk about what it really means to serve and how those experiences shape the person behind the work. Thanks for joining us today.
Of course. No, thank you for having me. I've been looking forward to this, getting to talk about some of my favorite topics. So thank you for having me.
Oh, it's my pleasure. If you would, give us a little background on what you do.
Sure. So I am a mental health specialist at ADRA International. So ADRA, that's the Adventist Development and Relief Agency. We are the global humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and we're currently operating in more than 120 countries worldwide. We have about a thousand different projects, and they're in the different fields of health, nutrition, water... education, livelihoods or emergencies. And across all of that, mental health is embedded into them. And so what I do as the mental health specialist is I'm among a range of different roles. There's maybe two core ones, and one is I help design and implement our mental health and psychosocial support programs. And so that involves making sure that these programs follow international guidelines, that they're delivered effectively and safely for our beneficiaries, that they're culturally adapted, they're relevant and they're feasible.
And then the other part of the work that I do is also I support the staff that we deploy during emergencies. So there are certain occasions when a major humanitarian crisis might completely overwhelm the capacities of the local country office.
