About My Health, Mi Familia
My Health, Mi Familia is focused on mental health awareness to destigmatize talking about mental health in your families and Latino community. We believe that the best care for preventing a mental health crisis, or regrounding yourself if a crisis does occur, is social support from those that you call family.
