HISPANIC OUTREACH

The Hispanic Outreach Program helps Spanish-speaking clients locate mental health providers, advocates for increased mental health services for Nashville’s foreign-born residents, and builds coalitions with other agencies to create new resources.  HOP provides support groups for Hispanic women and middle school students, offers cultural training for other agencies, and holds monthly meetings to provide resources and information for agencies that work with the Hispanic community. 

In 2002 the MHAMT’s Hispanic Outreach Program (HOP) began conducting “Las Mujeres de Hoy” educational/support groups, using a curriculum developed by our bilingual Hispanic Outreach Specialist, Luisa Hough, to address the mental health needs of Hispanic women in Nashville. 

Currently…

  • HOP is providing the community 2 support groups per week for Hispanic women
  • Once per year in the spring we do a mental health series on the radio
  • Offer support groups in some of metro schools for Hispanic Teens
