Familia Solutions works with organizations such as NAMI Minnesota to make mental health education accessible to Spanish-speaking families. Dr. Monardez Popelka leads the translation and adaptation of materials, ensuring content is culturally relevant, linguistically accurate, and practically applicable.
Participants in these workshops gain a deeper understanding of mental health concepts while learning how to apply strategies in daily life. Families report feeling more confident discussing mental health and accessing services, bridging gaps that previously limited engagement and support.
Renée Labat, Youth Program Coordinator at NAMI Minnesota, emphasizes, “They make sure each translation is culturally appropriate to make it more accessible to families in the community.”
