Cuidar la Mente es Cuidar la Vida

ALMA’s “Cuidar La Mente Es Cuidar La Vida” training builds upon the work done by Community Health Workers (CHWs), the front line of support for many Spanish-speaking Latine communities. CHWs are positioned to help overcome barriers to mental health access for Latine people – stigma around mental health needs, not enough Spanish-speaking providers, lack of insurance and cost, and fear of how services might impact documentation status.

By bolstering the ability of their support networks to address mental wellbeing and to be connectors to professional services when those are needed, ALMA helps reduce the number of Latine community members with unmet mental health needs.

Community Health Workers, Peer Support Specialists, Family and Youth Navigators as well as other engaged community volunteers are the target audience for this training. These trainings can be offered as a one or two day training or as a series of four 3-hour trainings. Trainings are primarily facilitated in Spanish. The core elements of these trainings include:

  • Community Resiliency Model (CRM)
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  • Mental Health 101
  • Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR)
