This Mental Health Month, we’re spotlighting the people behind the care. Meet Viridiana Hernandez, a therapist at Para Los Niños who’s spent the past 7 years walking with families through challenge, healing, and growth. “I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk with you. We’re going to grow together.” 💬 In our latest blog post, Viridiana shares her journey, what keeps her grounded in this work, and why support makes all the difference. 📖 Read her story at the link in bio or https://bit.ly/4jub9VJ #MentalHealthMonth #TherapistSpotlight #CommunityCare (fb)
