Mental health disorders are often among the most commonly misunderstood conditions in many communities, especially the Latino/a community. When people do not entirely understand mental health and disorders, it makes it harder for them to know how to find help if they need it. However, mental disorders are pervasive, and many types of treatment are available.
Mental illnesses are serious disorders that affect how you think, feel, and act. Mental disorders can come from your family health history, having life experiences with trauma, loss of a loved one, a history of substance use, or many other factors. Mental health is essential at every stage of life, from early childhood to late adulthood.
As a client of Bienestar’s Mental Health Program, you will benefit from:
- Individual, partner, or family therapy sessions
