Proyecto Cuídate Behavioral Health

Supporting wellness in our community through accessible, culturally competent behavioral health services.

2010-2022

Since 2010, Proyecto Cuídate has provided comprehensive and culturally competent community wellness and restorative justice programming, supporting youth and families in the Little Village community through parenting groups, youth leadership, mentoring, and behavioral health counseling

2022-Present

Recognizing the increasing need for accessible behavioral health support, we began developing a strategic realignment plan to focus solely on behavioral health services. This transformation reflects our commitment to meeting evolving community needs while expanding access to comprehensive therapeutic counseling.

Our Philosophy of Care

Why We're Evolving - PCBH

Our evolution to Proyecto Cuídate Behavioral Health (PCBH) represents a focused response to our community's growing need for accessible mental health services. This thoughtful realignment allows us to:

  • Deepen our impact in behavioral health support
  • Expand access to therapeutic services across our organization
  • Strengthen our commitment to culturally competent care
