Mental health can still be a difficult topic to talk about for men, especially Latino men living in mountain communities like Lake Tahoe. But one nonprofit is trying to change that. Sierra Community House launched a support group for Latino men, creating space for healing, connection, and personal growth.

The U.S. House voted to claw back $1.1 billion in already-approved funding for public media. The bill now moves to the Senate, where only 50 votes are needed to make these funding cuts a reality — funding that 1,500 stations across the country, including KUNR, rely on.
We don’t know what the Senate will do. But we do know this: We need your support now.
Keep KUNR strong and independent, no matter what happens in Washington, by becoming a monthly donor today at KUNR.com/make-a-gift or increasing your monthly donation by calling KUNR at (775) 327-5867.
