The Hispanic/Latinx community makes up over 18% of the US population, making it our country’s second largest ethnic group. However, despite its large population, the Hispanic/Latinx community face many barriers in accessing mental health care.

Removing barriers to mental health care is a large part of our mission, here at HCBH. So, to that end, we would like to share a list of valuable mental health resources for our Hispanic/Latinx friends and community members.

Social media has become an integral part of today’s culture. However, social media’s popularity and influence has raised some significant concerns over its effect on mental health.

Join us as we discuss the risks of excessive social media use, how it can affect your mental health, and how you can protect your mental health by using social media responsibly.

Human relationships provide us with a sense of connection, purpose, support and, ultimately, overall better health and longevity. Dozens of studies have shown that people who have fulfilling relationships with family, friends and community members are happier, have fewer health problems, and live longer.

Join us, as we continue our blog series, "Cultivating Mental Health", and learn the importance of social relationships to mental and physical health.
