El Futuro

El Futuro is a non-profit organization based in Durham and serving a 20-county central NC region that provides comprehensive mental health and emotional wellness services for Latino families in a bilingual environment of healing and hope. Our mission is to strengthen families to live their dreams. We were formed in 2005 by a team of young psychiatrists when they realized that services of this type were not available to the Spanish-speaking population of North Carolina.

El Futuro now serves more than 2,000 individuals and families each year. With donors' support, El Futuro has grown each year to serve an average of 11% more clients than the previous year. We measure improvements in two aspects: social and family roles (92% of clients see significant improvements) and clinical stabilization (85% of clients see significant improvements).
