Raíces de Bienestar
Mission
Our mission is to improve and strengthen the mental health and emotional wellbeing of the Latine community through culturally-grounded clinical services, community programs, training and education.
Bottom Line for Portland
Raíces fills a critical need for culturally-affirming, community-centered mental health and healing services for the Latine community. The majority of our participants are monolingual Spanish-speaking and first-generation immigrants. We focus on improving mental health equitably and “bringing mental health to the people” through mobile mental health, telehealth services, and community education.
Quote
“…..I learned to care for our mental, spiritual, and emotional health. I learned so much in each class and in connecting with myself. I loved starting each morning with the breathing technique, knowing that I am present, that I am alive, and focusing on myself. I am grateful for this space and wisdom. Thank you so much.”
“The last few months have been difficult for me and my family due to a health issue. I feel this training came at just the right time for me, when I needed it most. It helped me realize how important it is to be well myself so I can be well for others and for the community. It gave me knowledge and wisdom to serve my community and to help myself."
