Esperanza is a Centro Hispano of Dane County and UW-Madison School of Education partnership funded by the Wisconsin Partnership Program. Esperanza mobilizes hope by nurturing and growing the potential of our Latinx/e community through:

  • Increasing access to culturally appropriate mental health services with training and intervention.
  • Strengthening family-centered community programming that addresses the social determinants of health.

Nuestra cultura de salud views health through a holistic framework that seeks to address the physical, psychological, social, environmental, political and cultural factors that influence wellness.

Mission:

Support community wellbeing through community mental wellness programming and structural change.

Vision:

A Dane County Latinx/e community that is strengthened by systems that support Esperanza (hope) as necessary for good health.
