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.
