Welcome to another episode of Rough Edges!
This week, Sarah is joined by special guest, JaQuasia Vandross. JaQuasia is the Founding CEO & President of Black Girls Can Heal Inc. She currently serves as a Clinical Coordinator, providing underserved youth and families in the community and foster care with affordable therapy services. She is a 2016 Mercy College graduate with a B.S. in Psychology. She later graduated from Mercy College in 2020 with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She also has a certification in helping clients with Alcoholism and Substance Abuse.
Join these ladies as they talk about the importance of open communication in relationships, how youth relationships have similar patterns to adult relationships, and how to effectively communicate boundaries with your friends and loved ones.
