Despierta

Juliana Lozano

Despierta addresses the critical lack of access to culturally competent mental health care and social support for Latina youth and women in the Charlotte area. Many Latinas face significant barriers, such as language access, financial limitations, and lack of awareness about available services, that prevent them from seeking mental health support. By providing counseling, educational workshops, support groups, and cohort-based programs, Despierta helps participants build confidence, foster resilience, and become leaders within their communities.
