Helping People Live Full and Prosperous Lives
At Sunrise-Amanecer Inc., we believe that everyone deserves access to culturally humble and responsive mental health services. Our organization was founded in May 2019 by Amanda Huber Lopera, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist, who recognized a significant need for responsive care in Spanish for the Latinx community in the Triad area. Since its inception, Sunrise-Amanecer Inc. has grown to become a hub for mental health services, serving individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds.
Our History
Our journey began when Amanda, noticing a gap in quality mental health care for the Latinx community, decided to take action. She founded Sunrise-Amanecer Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing culturally responsive mental health services to the Latine, LGBTQIA+, and diverse populations.
Mission and Values
At Sunrise-Amanecer Inc., our mission is to serve and connect the diverse populations to culturally humble and responsive mental health services. Our values are rooted in the principles of social justice, integrity, and recognition of the importance of decolonizing our minds. We strive to be an affirming place for all, recognizing the importance of intersectionality and the need for increased knowledge and skills to enhance our competence.
Goals
Our goals are centered around achieving health equity, increasing educational opportunities, and increasing community care. We believe that every individual has the right to access quality mental health services, regardless of their background or identity. Our ultimate goal is to create a community for collective healing and improve health, economic, and educational outcomes.
