A Mother’s Vow Of Mental Health Advocacy For Her Daughter

When Joseline Castanos’ daughter was hospitalized for a suicide attempt, she vowed to fight for her and find the right care. Two of the biggest barriers she faced were the stigma surrounding mental health in the Hispanic/Latinx community, and the scarcity of culturally competent care.

Through NAMI, she found a safe place, support for her daughter and a platform to continue advocating for mental health in her community.
