Congratulations, Fellowship Cohort 2025–2026!

El Puente de Encuentros proudly celebrates the accomplishments of our Fellowship Cohort 2025–2026. Throughout the year, these remarkable Fellows dedicated themselves to learning, leadership, community engagement, and personal growth while pursuing their academic and professional goals in behavioral health.

Each Fellow brought their unique gifts, lived experiences, and commitment to creating healthier, more equitable communities. Through mentorship, training, community projects, and collective reflection, they have strengthened not only their professional skills but also their capacity to lead with compassion, cultural humility, and purpose.

As they reach this important milestone, we honor the heart work they have invested, the challenges they have overcome, and the communities they represent and will continue to serve. We are inspired by their dedication to advancing wellbeing, justice, and healing across New Mexico and beyond.

Congratulations, Fellows! We are honored to have been part of your journey and look forward to witnessing the impact you will continue to make as leaders, healers, advocates, and changemakers.

With gratitude and pride,
El Puente de Encuentros
