About

We believe overall wellness, starts with the mind.

Contigo Wellness is a non-profit organization that was established in 2020 to meet the disproportionate needs of the Communities of Color. Latino/a/x communities are disproportionately outnumbered in educational attainment, workplace employment, income and health, as well as are overrepresented in jails and prisons. We recognize this, and are dedicated to meeting these opportunity gaps and help lift our Communities of Color, starting with mental health.

 

Disparities in Latinx communities

Even though more hispanics are going to college and graduating, progress in these communities remain unchanged. We are dedicated to helping our Latinx community needs through increasing mental health access and equity.

Discrimination Experienced 78%
Mental Health Issues 99%
College Education 50%
Poverty 34%
Low-Income Households 61%

"To Make a Great Dream Come True, the First Requirement is a Great Capacity to Dream, the Second is Persistence."
-Cesar Chavez

At Contigo Wellness, we have a dream, that one day, mental health care is going to be accessible and affordable, for all persons in need of this service, by increasing and improving equity in the mental wellness area.
