WHY SALUD EXISTS

You deserve to feel understood.

Emotional wellness resources should feel understandable, relevant, and within reach. We created Salud Mental Health to help bridge the gap between needing support and knowing where to begin.

Immigration stress, family responsibilities, separation, grief, anxiety, and major life changes can feel overwhelming. These experiences deserve care that recognizes the people, language, and communities behind them.

WHAT GUIDES US

Support made for real life.

Culturally aware

Resources created with Hispanic individuals and families in mind, with respect for the experiences that shape our lives.

Easy to understand

Clear mental health education and practical tools you can use at your own pace, in English and Spanish.

More ways to begin

A starting point through free resources, self-help books, and connections to professional support.

OUR APPROACH

One step at a time, together.

There is no single right way to begin caring for your mental health. You might start with a calming exercise, a workbook, a conversation with someone you trust, or therapy.

Our goal is to make those first steps feel more approachable and to offer tools that help you feel supported along the way.

IN HER WORDS

Biography

As a Chilean immigrant, I have had first-hand experiences with immigration stress, acculturation, grief, trauma, and the unique struggles that immigrants face when they make the heart-wrenching decision of leaving their home country to come to the USA for a better life for their families. Unequivocally, I have made a heartfelt commitment to serve this population through clinical work, research, and teaching.

My research focus is on suicide prevention, acculturative stress, culturally-valued interventions in Hispanic/Latinx mental health. My clinical focus is with Hispanic/Latinx adults and families in issues of depression, anxiety, immigration-related stressors, identity development, and suicide behaviors.

I serve on the board for the American Foundation and Suicide Prevention and the National Behavioral Association of Behavioral Health.
