Hope
With a gospel-centered approach, Alma Community Care supports the mental and emotional health of families in Greater Logan Heights communities through family education, parenting seminars, and individual therapy.
These communities have a large population of children and adolescents, where families experience housing instability and other systemic stressors that can affect child development and family well-being. Within the Hispanic community, experiences of early life adversity are common, reflecting broader structural and historical challenges and underscoring the importance of accessible, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed support for families.
What We Do
Parenting seminars, individual therapy, mother relaxation and wellness
Parenting seminars
Free monthly Parenting seminars in Spanish and English at neighborhood schools, creating opportunities for family education and shared learning about children’s mental health and supportive parenting with licensed professionals.
Individual therapy - Esperanza
"Hope" in Spanish, Esperanza makes it possible for community parents to receive six individual and six group therapy sessions through full scholarships, with care provided by a licensed, bilingual therapist integrating Christian faith and professional practice.
Mother relaxation and wellness
During the summer, community mothers are invited to a morning focused on rest and well-being, including nourishing food, creative activities, and access to complimentary chiropractic care. Children are welcomed into a kids’ activity area, and this time together is made possible with the support of Hope for San Diego.
Testimonials
Alma Community Care means a heart of the community to me. I believe it's bringing a lot of folks together. From a male father's perspective, it is opening my eyes to what mothers are actually going through, not just my kids mothers. I realize it's all the same, and I have some corrections to do on my end. I appreciate the them and love coming to these seminars.
Tykeus, Parenting Seminar Father
Alma Community Care has taught me that there is such a need for information on trauma, emotions and our nervous system to be shared in our community. If I am able to be a part of that, as a therapist, to make it more accessible and make the activities engaging for the people when I'm teaching, then that's an honor.
Maria Anguiano, LMFT
Thank you for creating a space where we can grow as parents without feeling judged, for sharing with such humility, and for offering words that touch our souls. I am so grateful for each parenting seminar and for the genuine support you give us."
