GPS Community Programs

GPS For Hispanic Communities

Hispanic communities bring rich traditions, strong family ties, and deep resilience — yet they often face unique challenges when it comes to emotional and mental health, from cultural stigma to systemic barriers and a shortage of culturally attuned care. GPS Group Peer Support offers a transformative path forward, with both support groups and facilitator training available entirely in Spanish. Our model embraces Hispanic identities, honors traditions, and creates welcoming spaces where individuals can share their stories, heal from trauma, and find strength in community — all in their own language and on their own terms.

How GPS Supports Hispanic Communities

GPS strengthens mental health and fosters resilience by offering evidence-based, culturally relevant programs entirely in Spanish. Together with our partners, we bring trauma-informed peer support that goes beyond services, celebrating identity, fostering healing, and building lasting strength from within.

GPS trains and certifies community health workers, peer specialists, clinicians, and leaders from Hispanic communities to run groups in Spanish. Participants leave with skills in trauma-informed facilitation, group dynamics, and culturally responsive care.
Curriculum in Spanish
Our specialized GPS curriculum has been translated and adapted for Hispanic communities, including modules on trauma, resilience, family dynamics, identity, and emotional well-being. These resources allow facilitators to lead groups that reflect the lived realities of participants.
Support Groups in Spanish
GPS offers peer-led groups conducted entirely in Spanish, ensuring participants can speak freely in their language of comfort. Groups foster connection, reduce isolation, and provide tools for resilience in ways that feel authentic and accessible.
