MENTE SANA, EDUCATION, PREVENTION, AND COUNSELING is a 501©3 nonprofit organization that provides therapeutic counseling to children and
their families. Our mission is to provide quality mental health services to
children who are underinsured or uninsured. Our goal is to provide a
healthier mental health environment to the families of our community.
LEADERSHIP AND RESILIENCY PROGRAM: This is an intensive substance abuse
prevention program designed to serve youth who are “at-risk” for involvement
with substance abuse and/or violence, dropping out of school, gang
involvement, teen pregnancy and youth who are enrolled in mainstream or
alternative school settings. This program is provided in partnership with Luz
Community Development Coalition at Mente Sana the last two Saturdays of
every month from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
