 El Futuro is North Carolina's Non-profit Resource for Latino Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment El Futuro is a non-profit agency dedicated to serving the mental health and substance abuse needs of Latinos and their families.
HISTORY Starting with a volunteer effort in 2001, El Futuro has grown into a nationally recognized organization helping Latinos in North Carolina who have mental health and addiction illnesses. Our 14 staff members provide outstanding bilingual, culturally informed care to more than 500 new individuals and their families each year who come from all over central North Carolina. Furthermore, El Futuro is a renowned training site where doctors, nurses, social workers, and other professional students come for extended practica each year. We offer care through our main clinics in Siler City, Durham and Carrboro, have collocated services at two Primary Care Community Health Centers, and work within the Chatham County Schools and Chapel Hill/Carrboro Schools. Our staff publish articles about our model of care and give lectures throughout the state and nation. Eight state foundations and two national foundations have sponsored our efforts. Each year over 300 individuals make donations to empower our work. CELEBRATING SUCCESSES Our staff and agency have received numerous honors including the 2006 Mental Health Association in North Carolina Heroes in the Fight Award, 2007 North Carolina Latino Diamante Award, and 2007 Citizen Award from the Independent Weekly. El Futuro was named as one of two “AHEC Centers of Excellence” in North Carolina. You can check out the El Futuro AHEC Connect education series here. Our most impressive achievement, however, is with each individual who achieves success! Those who come to us recover from their illness, refer family and friends, and value our support as we help them take steps toward a brighter “Futuro”. | El Futuro is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization "I'd like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work at El Futuro.
