We are happy to share the results of recent work with @NorthCarolinaInstituteofMedicine to develop this landscape analysis highlighting the mental health gaps and opportunities for immigrants across NC. The work of the Immigrant Solidarity Network included engaging an Advisory Council – composed of individuals with detailed knowledge of immigrant services and mental health needs – whose insights have expanded the understanding of the needs of diverse immigrant communities across the state and increased awareness of the available resources to support them throughout North Carolina.

Happy Gratitude Tuesday! (Let's rename it!) My friend and coworker Mary took this picture of me when I was speaking to our staff recently. I was wearing a traditional garment from Peru (it was the day after Halloween and we were supposed to dress up) but Mary said I looked like a prophet! Ha! The quote on the screen is from Mother Teresa. The sentiment is one I share. My heart is filled with gratitude for the incredible community that makes @El Futuro what it is. 🙏To our dedicated staff: Your unwavering commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care is the cornerstone of our mission. Every day, you make a profound difference in the lives of those we serve. 🙏To our amazing supporters: Your generosity and belief in our work empower us to reach further and help more families. We couldn't do it without you. 🙏 And to the community members who trust us with their stories and journeys: Your resilience and courage inspire us beyond words. Gratitude is a powerful force in mental health—it fosters resilience, builds stronger connections, and promotes healing.  At El Futuro, we see firsthand how embracing gratitude and community-driven care transforms lives. Wishing everyone a "Gratitude Tuesday" filled with warmth, thankfulness, and the joy of community.

As North Carolina's immigrant population grows, policy must take into account that immigrant populations can face unique challenges and stressors that impact mental well-being. Understanding and addressing these specific needs is vital to ensuring equitable mental health care. We are happy to share the results of recent work with El Futuro to develop this landscape analysis illuminating the mental health gaps and opportunities for immigrants across our state. In total, 20 interviews were conducted with 21 individuals. Interviewees represented a variety of professional roles and immigrant backgrounds; however, a majority of interviewees represented a Latino immigrant and/or ethnic identity.
