Cannenta Center for Healing and Empowerment

Feeling anxious about socializing? You’re not alone. ?? Whether it’s big gatherings, work events, or even casual meetups, social anxiety can creep in at any time. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed—especially with everything happening in the world today. Start by honoring your feelings. Take things at your own pace, set boundaries when needed, and remember that it’s perfectly fine to say no. Easing into social situations on your terms is a form of self-care. ?? #SocialAnxietySupport #MentalHealthMatters #CannentaCares

Octubre es el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Depresión: ?Hablemos sobre la salud mental en las comunidades minoritarias! ?Sabía que estadísticamente los adultos hispanos tienen menos probabilidades de buscar ayuda para problemas de salud mental, incluida la depresión? El estigma cultural, la falta de acceso a los recursos y las barreras lingüísticas a menudo impiden que muchas personas busquen el apoyo que necesitan. En Cannenta Center, entendemos los desafíos únicos que enfrenta la comunidad hispana en lo que respecta a la salud mental. La depresión no discrimina, pero los recursos disponibles para abordarla a menudo sí lo hacen. La depresión puede ser abrumadora, pero no es necesario que la enfrentes solo. Estamos aquí para brindarle un espacio seguro y compasivo donde pueda ser escuchado y comprendido. Si usted o alguien que conoce tiene dificultades, comuníquese con nosotros en Cannenta Center. Estamos aquí para apoyarte. ??

We are excited to welcome Amy Jackson as our Chief of Staff!

With a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice from Sam Houston State University, and now pursuing her LMSW at the University of Texas at Arlington, she continues her commitment to empowering others through culturally sensitive services.

?? World Mental Health Day ?? Today, we highlight a crucial aspect of mental health care: the need for culturally specific services. Mental health struggles impact everyone, but how we experience them can be deeply influenced by our cultural background. Stigma, language barriers, and lack of representation often prevent many—especially in minority communities—from seeking help. That’s why culturally sensitive care is so important. When mental health services are tailored to a person’s culture, language, and lived experiences, they are far more effective. It’s not just about offering support—it’s about ensuring that the support truly resonates. On this World Mental Health Day, let’s continue the conversation about creating a world where everyone has access to mental health care that meets them where they are—culturally, emotionally, and personally. ?? #WorldMentalHealthDay #CulturallySensitiveCare #MentalHealthForAll #BreakTheStigma
