Puertas Abiertas or “Open Doors” is a safe and affirming place for Latine folx to be met where they are and get therapy in their language and be connected to community resources through advocates who support in resource navigation. They have a high impact on their community and support with events, celebrations and health and wellness as well. I wish I had photos but many of their spaces are private for confidentiality purposes.
This organization has helped me improve my emotional health, it has provided me with other basic needs and I feel very safe in this place.
So caring and passionate , not just with the people they work with , but with their staff and partner agencies as well.
This organization is truly addressing an umeet need for the community , when there is no service available, advocates go above and beyond to try to find the help needed .
Like if client does know how to write or read will help on that or if there is no transportation and a client is in lack of food , an advocate will go buy food and take it to the client of there is no other resources available at the moment, etc ...
Is truly amazing the work they do they like Angels for the Latino women and youth .
I'm with a partner agency and I've also volunteer with Puertas Abiertas because I truly admire the work they do and felt call to be part of this mission too
Puertas Abiertas means open doors in English. It truly encompasses that translation because it is endless to the resources it can provide for victims of domestic violence. Its doors are always open to aid and empower women, children and men who need it. All services are free of cost and help victims gain skills to be independent and free of violence.
