About

Through funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Office of Behavioral Health Equity, our Center of Excellence is established to advance the behavioral health of Latino communities through the development and dissemination of culturally-informed, behavioral health information, provision of training and technical assistance and directed support to expand the behavioral health workforce that serves Latino communities.  

We serve as a resource for mental health and substance use providers, primary care providers, community-based and faith-based organizations, research institutions, Hispanic and Latino-Serving Institutions (HSIs) of higher education, peer and recovery support service providers, as well as state, regional, local, and federal entities. Our outreach also encompasses the general public, including Hispanic and Latino individuals, families, and communities, as well as persons with lived experiences.
