Bridging Communities: Mental Health Lessons from the Bronx
In this episode of Community Connections, Karina Casarez, Financial Analyst at Kings Partnership, speaks with Amaranta Henriquez, CEO and founder of Luminous Mental Health in the Bronx, New York. We explore how other communities address mental health and wellness and what lessons can be applied locally. Amaranta shares her journey in building a practice that provides evidence-based care tailored to individuals’ unique needs, addressing challenges such as anxiety, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. The conversation also covers the impact of systemic issues, stigma, and cultural humility, as well as approaches to supporting families, promoting prevention, and fostering community partnerships.
