Welcome to,
PASEO Salud Mental

A global mental health organization dedicated to increasing services for the Latin American population across borders.

Who we are …

PASEO Mental Health is a global mental health organization focused on increasing access to mental health services for the Latinx population in the U.S. as well as in low-resource communities in Latin America. The heart of the program is an immersion-based language training program for students and professionals who provide clinical services in Spanish in the United States.

In addition, we also provide mental health capacity building and applied research assistance for organizations seeking to close gaps to mental health care in Latin America. Our current target communities include Trujillo in Northern Peru and San Juan la Laguna in Guatemala.
