Hispanic Heritage Month ends October 15, but this conversation shouldn’t.

Hispanic Americans are about 1 in 5 people in the U.S., yet only about 16% of Hispanic adults received mental health care last year, compared with 23% of all adults. Part of the gap? Finding a therapist who truly understands your culture, your family, and your language.

Mental Health America of Fredericksburg wants to help close that gap! Nuestra MHAfred HELPLINE (Linea de Ayuda) esta disponible en Español! Podemos ayudarte a buscar un proveedor que sea adecuado para ti o tus seres queridos.

Feeling like something isn't right? Feelings of uncertainty or overwhelm? Those feelings are valid and a sign that you might need some support.

National Depression Screening Day is a reminder that our mental health is just as important as our physical health. And just as we wouldn’t ignore a persistent cough or chest pain, we shouldn’t ignore emotional pain.

Take a step to get support and take a confidential depression screening for FREE through Mental Health America: mhascreening.org.

We were glad to have Hannah Smith, one of RACSB’s co-response therapists, share her expertise at this weekend’s Teen Mental Health Summit.
Hannah talked about co-response, an approach that brings behavioral health professionals and law enforcement together when responding to calls involving mental health or behavioral health needs.
It’s an important part of making sure people experiencing a behavioral health crisis can connect with the right kind of support—and we’re always happy to see our staff sharing what they know with others in the community. 💚

On Saturday September 26th, MHAfred partnered with several organizations to put on an incredible day of community, resiliency, and education for both teens and their caretakers.

As we begin this week, we're feeling deeply grateful for the opportunity to share this important work with our community. Thank you to every partner, volunteer, presenter, attendee, and supporter who helped make this event such a success.

More photos and stories are coming soon, but for now, we're simply saying thank you. We can't wait to see everyone again in 2027!
