Contigo Wellness

Our Impact

At Contigo Wellness, we don’t just offer services—we reclaim space, restore power, and revive cultural memory through healing justice. Together, we are growing a future where mental health belongs to us all.

Our Impact

Decolonial Community Wellness

At Contigo Wellness, a leading organization in decolonial and anti-racism healing work; we believe healing is a collective act of liberation. As a Latina-led, BIPOC-centered nonprofit, we work at the intersection of mental health, culture, and community resilience—offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded wellness to those most impacted by systemic harm.

Wellness that Meets People Where They Are

Our work centers historically excluded communities:

  • BIPOC families

  • Court-involved youth and adults

  • LGBTQIA+ individuals

  • Immigrant and rural residents

  • Undocumented and system-impacted people

We deliver non-clinical, holistic care through:

  • Bilingual workshops & healing circles

  • Crisis-response wellness kits during climate events and displacements

  • Resilience hubs in partnership with the Red Cross and CAP

  • Culturally grounded curriculum for justice-involved youth

  • Public wellness murals that honor community history and reclaim public space

Healing Through Public Art

In partnership with community elders and artists, we launched the Tú Importas Mural Project—a national cultural preservation initiative using murals to uplift Latinx resilience, storytelling, and mental health education.

Strengthened by Community, Powered by Partnership

Contigo Wellness thrives through collaboration with:

  • Austin ISD & Round Rock ISD

  • El Buen Samaritano

  • Travis & Hays Counties

  • Red Cross (CAP)

  • CAN and other BIPOC-led grassroots networks

These partnerships help us create trauma-informed, linguistically accessible, culturally grounded healing ecosystems across Central Texas and beyond.

 

Since our founding, we have:

  • Served over 300,000 individuals nationally, including 60,000 Central Texans through outreach, education, and emergency support

  • Facilitated healing-centered programming across 12+ community activations, including flood response, BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ mental health events, and back-to-school wellness drives
  • Launched “Healing is For Everyone – A Tú Importas Initiative”, which expanded to 3 additional counties in 2025, reaching new rural and immigrant communities.
  • Trained community members in our A.L.M.A. Healing Framework, a soul-centered model integrating ancestral healing and nervous system care.
  • Facilitated healing-centered sessions in both urban and rural counties

  • Reported outcomes include:

    • Reduced stigma

    • Increased self-regulation

    • Renewed engagement in school, family, and community

  • Supported 25,000 people during winter storm Uri
  • Initiated several City Proclamations for Mental Health Awareness Month(s)
