Westside Wellness: Mental Health Support for Latino Families

Westside Wellness is proud to offer free, culturally-responsive mental health programs for Latino

families in our community. These workshops create safe, supportive spaces for single parents, boys,

and girls who are navigating mental health challenges.

Programs include:

• Single-Parent Workshops (for Latino mothers and fathers)

• Boys Mental Health Group

• Girls Mental Health Group

All workshops are led by licensed mental health professionals and held in the evenings to

accommodate working families. Sessions include snacks, water, and calming tools to help

participants feel comfortable and supported. Child care is provided during parent sessions.

When & Where:

• Tuesdays and Thursdays, January through June

• Located at the Ramona Campus (767 N Ventura ave) Each group meets weekly for 6–12 weeks, depending on the program.

Why it matters:

These programs address the growing mental health needs of Latino youth and families with

compassion, connection, and care. By offering services in both English and Spanish, and by

providing logistical support like childcare and food, Westside Wellness ensures that healing is

accessible to those who need it most.

their children’s mental health. Youth feel seen, heard, and empowered. These workshops are not

just sessions — they are lifelines, building resilience that ripples through homes, schools, and

neighborhoods.
