Why This Program Matters

Increasing the number of Latino mental health providers is essential to reducing the healthcare disparity gap in our communities. As one Denver Behavioral Health Director shared, “We have 300 people on our waiting list waiting for a Spanish-speaking therapist.”

Through mentorship, we’re building a pipeline of compassionate, culturally responsive clinicians who can meet this critical need.
