Bienestar
Our services include PrEP, PEP, and STI treatment alongside care that is culturally sensitive and affirming, compassionate to your needs, and assistance to overcome barriers toward treatment.
Community Services
Our community’s health is intersectional, and so are our services. Bienestar resources include men’s health, trans health, harm reduction services, youth empowerment, emergency housing services, and food bank services.
Wellness
Mental health is often commonly misunderstood, especially in the Latinx community. We strive to improve your emotional, psychological, and social well-being through peer-to-peer and bilingual services.
Research
We advocate for human rights, health equity, and social justice through research initiatives, community mobilization, and spreading awareness on emerging Latinx and LGBTQ+ issues.
