Why This Program Matters
Latino communities face a significant gap in access to culturally competent mental health care. By inspiring and supporting Latino individuals to pursue careers in mental health, we’re working to close this gap and provide culturally relevant care to those who need it most.
Equally important is seeing this information being provided by and for the Latino community! We want our Latino community to see and meet current Latino mental health professionals doing the work!
How to Get Involved
Our events are more than just informational—they’re about empowerment. Together, we’re building a network of Latine mental health professionals who understand and advocate for our community’s needs.
