Parenting Seminars

We offer free monthly bilingual Parenting Seminars in local schools throughout our community. Parents learn about childhood mental health and positive parenting from licensed professionals. A couple of parents had this to say about the seminars:
"I learned how to break the cycle of depression and be open to talking to my kids about it.​"
​
"I learned how to talk with children in a way to better understand what is happening to them and how to gain their confidence.​"

Esperanza, which means "hope" in Spanish, provides full scholarships to 4-5 community parents to receive professional individual and group therapy led by a licensed, Christian, and bilingual therapist.
Parents receive 4-6 personalized, individual and 6-8 group therapy sessions to help, support and care for their family through a gospel lens.
Since 2020, our program has been a tremendous blessing to the participating mothers and their families. One of those mothers had this to say about the program:
“I am so thankful for Alma Community Care. Earlier this year, death threats from our teenage daughter’s gang-member ex-boyfriend drove me to bouts of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and sleepless nights – all of which worsened my ongoing struggle with Lupus. It is very difficult for me to find help without health insurance, but thanks to Alma’s Esperanza program, now I can process my trauma with a therapist. I can get out of bed in the mornings, and I can confidently go outside my home. May God bless you for all that you’ve done for my family and me – you are a blessing to us all!”
