El Futuro

02/23/2026

We’re grateful to be part of the 2026 North Carolina Leadership Forum, a statewide group of leaders working across sectors to explore how NC can best respond to a changing healthcare landscape.

El Futuro’s participation reflects our commitment to ensuring that all communities are represented in the spaces where healthcare policy, strategy, and systems are shaped.

Our work doesn’t just happen in clinics—it also happens in rooms where decisions are made. Being at these tables helps ensure that community-centered mental health care is part of North Carolina’s future.

The Immigrant Mental Health Solidarity Network (IMHSN) continues to grow as a space for shared learning, accountability, and collective action across North Carolina.

With NC Counts Coalition stepping into the role of anchor organization, IMHSN is poised to deepen statewide collaboration while staying rooted in what matters most: immigrant leadership, lived experience, and community-defined solutions.
