Netflix show shines a light on social anxiety and other disabilities

A new Netflix original series, “The Healing Powers of Dude,” follows an 11-year-old boy with social anxiety who relies on an emotional support dog to get him through middle school. One young actor from the show, Mauricio Lara, sat down with CBSN to discuss the importance of the series. “It’s a topic that’s been talked about among adults, but it’s not really talked about when it comes to kids,” the 13-year-old actor said.
