An Extension of Care & Community

Make a donationPartner with us

Our vision is a world where every individual, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status, has access to quality mental health care and the opportunity to pursue high-level degrees in mental health fields. We envision thriving communities where mental wellness is prioritized, stigma is reduced, and diverse voices are represented and empowered to give back, creating a sustainable cycle of care and support.

Our mission is to enhance access to mental health care in underserved communities, particularly for Latino individuals and families, as well as those with socioeconomic need. We strive to provide ongoing therapy support and educational scholarships for aspiring mental health professionals, enabling more individuals from these communities to pursue advanced degrees and return to serve their neighborhoods while earning fair and competitive compensation that reflects their education, experience, and professional qualifications. Through our initiatives, we aim to foster a culture of wellness, resilience, and empowerment.

How We Support the Community

Not everyone is ready—or able—to begin therapy right away. That’s why the foundation offers access to Move Well, a digital wellness platform that provides:

  • On-demand mental health content (yoga, meditations, micro-courses)
  • Self-guided support for burnout, depression, grief, anxiety, and more
  • Culturally inclusive, affordable, and accessible tools for everyday emotional care
  • Check-ins, prompts, and progress tracking that meet people where they are

By funding free memberships and offering this as a wraparound resource, the Foundation ensures that mental health support doesn’t stop when therapy ends—or before it begins.
