Show you care by checking in with the people you love! In our communities, love shows up in connection, compassion, and support. Mental health is part of that love.

If you or someone you know needs support, remember — reaching out is a sign of strength. Together, we can reduce stigma and build healthier, more connected communities.

From all of us at MHAT, we’re sending you care, gratitude, and encouragement today and every day. 💕

NLBHA is pleased to announce that applications for the 2026-2027 Josie Torralba Romero Scholarship is now open!

The Josie Torralba Romero (JTR) Scholarship Fund seeks to honor its namesake, who was the first President and one of the founders of the National Latino Behavioral Health Association (NLBHA).

The JTR Scholarship Fund pays tribute to Josie’s legacy of “growing our own” by providing academic scholarships to Latino students interested in pursuing a college/university degree in mental health related academic fields. This includes the following disciplines: social work, counseling, psychology, psychiatry, or substance abuse or mental health programs, leading to a bachelors, masters, or doctoral degree.
