Fuente de Vida intern outlines bilingual mental‑health, teletherapy and crisis support
Summary
An intern from Fuente de Vida described bilingual in‑person and telehealth therapy, walk‑in assessments and case management at the Dolores Huerta Resource Center, a parents-of-children-with-disabilities workshop launching Wednesday evenings, and crisis support including accompaniment to emergency care when needed.
An intern with Fuente de Vida Mental Health Services described the agency's bilingual, culturally responsive mental‑health services available in Las Vegas and at the Dolores Huerta Resource Center. The presenter said the nonprofit offers individual therapy, family and couples therapy, psychoeducation, telehealth and walk‑in assessments supervised by clinical leadership.
"We provide we're a nonprofit community based mental health agency located here in Las Vegas. We promote, personal family and social well‑being through accessible bilingual and culturally responsive care for all ages," the intern said. She noted Fuente de Vida accepts Medicaid and that student interns provide case management at no cost at Dolores Huerta.
The presenter described crisis response options, referrals to partner providers and an upcoming parents' workshop focused on children with disabilities. Committee members asked whether Fuente de Vida conducts school‑based education about disabilities and whether teletherapy is available for families without transportation; the intern said teletherapy is offered and that the agency is exploring school outreach for the future.
The committee welcomed the availability of supervised walk‑in assessments, the bilingual services and the planned parent workshop and encouraged the agency to share referral materials for schools and community partners.
