As we approach our 20th anniversary Kermés and the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, we are thrilled to share that CBS News recently featured El Futuro’s incredible journey. This segment beautifully captured the essence of what we have built together over the past two decades—providing bilingual, culturally-appropriate mental health care for our community.

A Milestone in Mental Health Services
El Futuro has been a beacon of hope and support for the Latino community, offering services that go beyond just translation. Cindy Rassi, one of our dedicated staff members and a former client, eloquently highlighted the unique impact of our community-centric approach:

“Speaking in Spanish is not just about being able to translate the words and being able to process them, it’s about the culture that comes with it […] I have seen professionals in many places who are absolutely wonderful, but it has a very different impact when you see the other faces reflecting your own.”
Cindy Rassi

Her words resonate deeply with our mission. Mental health care is not just about addressing symptoms; it’s about understanding and embracing the cultural context of our clients. This approach has been the cornerstone of our success and the reason why our services are so vital.
