Our event was a huge success, raising over $750,000! It was a joy to celebrate the work of our very own Mental Health teams and Wellbeing initiatives on May 17th.
The program included PLN 4th graders reciting their own poems on wellbeing, mental health and family services staff sharing stories of support, and powerful videos showing the impact of PLN.
Thank you to all our event sponsors, attendees, donors, and participants who made the event our most successful ever.

Since PLN began, Mental Health and Wellbeing have been at the core of our approach. From being founded by a social worker, to integrating social emotional learning in classrooms, to building community strengths – all the steps and points of growth at Para Los Niños have been through the lens of amplifying the wellbeing of those we serve.
Today, our mental health and wellbeing staff work with thousands through one-on-one sessions, in-home care, group sessions, and training hours to expand others’ abilities to support their communities.

Beautiful Connections
Meydani and Neftaly’s story is just one example of the thousands of relationships and connections made each year by our Mental Health and Wellbeing teams.
Thank you to all of our Mental Health and Wellbeing counselors, therapists, social workers, case managers, promatoras, and staff who support and empower our children, families, and communities. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to honor your monumental contributions to our work.
