Aliento, The Center for Latinx Communities

Aliento, The Center for Latinx Communities at Pepperdine GSEP is dedicated to addressing the individual and communal mental health needs of Latinx communities. Aliento, the Spanish word signifying "breath," conveys the essence of the center. The Center's overall purpose is to "dar aliento" (give support, encouragement, life) to community members. The Center houses three interrelated components:

• a Latinx Mental Health Training Program;
• Community Outreach and Education activities
• Aliento Research Institute.

The mission of Aliento is to encourage community participation as an integrated component to its sustainability, relevance and to make it accessible to Latinx communities.
