Bilingual/bicultural therapists support immigrant children and families in Northern New Mexico via trauma-informed mental health services and connections to resources such as transportation, housing, translation/interpretation, food assistance, legal assistance, and childcare.  

BACKGROUND 

In January 2019, Las Cumbres formed the Santuario del Corazón Program to meet the critical human rights and social/emotional needs of migrant children who have experienced traumatic separation from a caregiver due to arriving unaccompanied in the United States, family separation at the border, and/or deportation.  

Las Cumbres was among 13 organizations awarded a federal grant by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to provide bilingual and bi-cultural treatment to immigrant children.  

KEY PARTNERS 

New Mexico Immigrant Law Center, Mexican Consulate, Refugee Health Provider Network, Santa Fe Dreamers Project, United Way of Santa Fe, Gerard’s House, Taos Public Schools, and Santa Fe Public Schools’ Adelante Program. 

The program also collaborates closely with the Casa del Migrante shelter, Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, Diocesan Migrant Refugee Services, Hope Border Institute, and Upbring ORR Foster Care Program in El Paso, Texas.
