Pork Belly Tacos with a Side of Anxiety - Yvonne Castañeda - Bog

One of the few YA books to directly address mental health issues and eating disorders within the LatinX community.

Specifically addresses bulimia, anxiety, depression, and addiction within the context of a young woman of Hispanic/Latino heritage struggling to meet American societal expectations.

From the National Institutes of Health: "Research on eating disorders has primarily focused on young, white female populations from relatively affluent backgrounds. Information about the prevalence of eating disorders in ethnic minority groups, particularly Latinos, is virtually unknown. Yet, several studies have reported higher rates of eating disorder symptoms among Latino groups than among non-Hispanic whites or among other ethnic minority females."

National PR campaign targeted at media outlets with a focus on the LatinX community, mental illness and eating disorders.
