One of the many whys behind Despierta. 💛

As we honor Hispanic Heritage Month and recognize National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we’re reminded of why this work matters so deeply.

Our founder and Executive Director, Juliana, founded Despierta with a vision to continue supporting our community, creating spaces where mental health conversations are welcomed, and breaking the stigma that too often keeps people from seeking help.

Her “why” is rooted in community, connection, and the belief that no one should have to struggle in silence.

This month, we’re bringing back one of the many “whys” that continue to inspire the work we do every day. Because when we talk openly about mental health, we make it easier for others to do the same.

We see you. We hear you. We’re here with you.

💛 Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we’re reminded that the words we use matter.

The way we talk about su***de and mental health can help reduce stigma and create space for more compassionate, honest conversations.

At Despierta, we believe in choosing language that helps people feel seen, heard, and supported, not just today, but every day.

Help us continue the conversation. Share this post to help bring more compassionate language into our community. 🤍

💛 Hoy, en el Día Mundial para la Prevención del Suicidio, recordamos que las palabras que usamos importan.

La manera en que hablamos sobre el suicidio y la salud mental puede ayudar a reducir el estigma y abrir espacio para conversaciones más compasivas y sinceras.

En Despierta, creemos en elegir un lenguaje que ayude a que las personas se sientan vistas, escuchadas y acompañadas, no solo hoy, sino todos los días.

Ayúdanos a continuar la conversación. Comparte esta publicación para promover un lenguaje más compasivo en nuestra comunidad. 🤍

During Charlotte’s immigration enforcement operation in November 2025, an estimated 30% of students were absent from school. Among those impacted were students in our Bonita Rising program.

Yesterday, Despierta joined nonprofits, community leaders, advocates, and local organizations for The People’s Hearing on Immigration Enforcement in Charlotte hosted by Hispanic Federation

Our Founder & Executive Director, Juliana Lozano, spoke on behalf of Despierta, sharing what we witnessed firsthand and the impact immigration enforcement had on the youth and families we serve.

Local partners included:
• ourBRIDGE for KIDS
• Action NC
• Latin American Coalition
• PODER LATINX
• Congress Latino Organizations
• Carolina Migrant Network

At Despierta, mental health is at the heart of everything we do. The fear and uncertainty surrounding immigration enforcement deeply affected the youth and families we serve, from school attendance to students feeling safe enough to participate in programming.

For us, this conversation is about more that numbers. It is about the young people behind them, the families navigating uncertainty, and the lasting impact these experiences can have on mental health and well-being.

We are grateful to have stood alongside our community and helped bring these stories and experiences forward.

We invite you to listen, learn, and stand with our community. 📩

Our Community. Our Culture. Our Pride. ❤️💙💛💚

As Hispanic Heritage Month approaches, we’re taking a moment to honor the roots, traditions, stories, and people that shape who we are.

At Despierta, our culture is more than something we celebrate, it’s something we carry with us every day. We’re proud to embrace our heritage, uplift our community, and bring that pride into the work we do and the world around us.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate where we come from, who we are, and the impact we continue to make together. 🌎✨
