The Bienvenido Program
The NNED and the Northeastern Center have partnered to offer 20 NNED Members training and continued coaching on the Bienvenido Program curriculum in order to help support Latino immigrants. About the Bienvenido ProgramThe Bienvenido Program, operated by the Northeastern Center, is a mental health promotion program for Latinos that addresses issues that come with adjustment to life in another country. CoP members will receive training to implement this strengths-based educational curriculum to enhance awareness of mental health, clarify a participant’s personal goals for an enhanced quality of life, and develop skills to reduce risk for emotional and behavioral risks associated with mental distress. The Bienvenido curriculum is appropriate for use in various community settings, including behavioral service settings, schools, and outpatient mental health centers. Each module of the nine week Bienvenido curriculum provides information about topics related to the development of positive mental health and enhanced well being. Modules are ordered to first introduce participants to potentially new knowledge about mental health, clarify their understanding of risk and protective factors associated with mental health and quality of life, and develop skills to enhance effective social functioning and community integration. About the Bienvenido CoPGilberto Pérez Jr., MSW, ACSW, Bienvenido Program Director will provide 16 hours of Bienvenido Facilitator Training to 20 NNED members via Webinar (8 sessions, 2 hours each). Upon completion of the training, participants will receive monthly coaching as they implement the program in their communities. NNED members are encouraged to apply for the CoP in teams of 2 (from the same community) to support sustainability of the program.
