My Nonprofit Reviews

I was appreciative of my visit to the Maya Health Alliance where I learned about the Mayan history, culture, and experiences within the Guatemalan mental health care system that these wonderful mujeres so kindly shared. I learned that Mayan individuals are more likely than Guatemalan individuals to experience social and economic issues within the mental health care system due to language barrier and discrimination. The Maya Health Alliance is doing impactful work to serve the majority of its clients who are Mayan women. The alliance has nurses and care navigators that have the cultural sensitivity and advocacy skills to help these women access equal and quality health care. I felt grateful to have a discussion and engaged with them to develop a new training program with them and their care navigators as additional ways to serve the Mayan community. I am looking forward to our growing partnership with them.
