Many of us have come from a long line of luchonas who taught us the values of hard work, sacrifice and always putting our familia first.
It can feel selfish to take time for ourselves and our own mental health. We may feel like we don’t have the right words to describe what’s going on inside us, or we might be afraid our family won’t understand.
Changing la cultura starts with us: no more machismo and marianismo, no more shame around reaching out for help, no more silence around our mental health.
NAMI Compartiendo Esperanza helps introduce discussions on mental health and wellness through a three-part community conversation series grounded in sacred storytelling and guided dialogue on mental wellness and support.
