🦶✨ Prevention is powerful.
Latinos are 1.5x more likely to die from diabetes than non-Hispanic whites - but it doesn’t have to be that way.
At our latest session, Dr. Gabriela Montes, DPM, reminded us that early care saves limbs and prevention is more effective than treatment.

👣 Don’t wait - get screened, stay active, and include a podiatrist in your diabetes care team.

🦶✨La prevención es poder.
Los latinos tienen 1.5 veces más probabilidades de morir por diabetes que los blancos no hispanos - pero no tiene que ser así.
En nuestra última sesión de , la Dra. Gabriela Montes, DPM, nos recordó que el cuidado temprano salva extremidades y que la prevención es más efectiva que el tratamiento.

Who Can Help?

“It’s not that bad.”
“I have my friends.”

Sound familiar? These are common barriers Latinas face when it comes to seeking help.

At Salud y Arte, we explored:
🔎 Who are therapists that can help?

• Psychologists
• Clinical Social Workers
• Licensed Professional Counselors
• Marriage & Family Therapists

🧩 Each has a different approach, but all can help guide you toward healing. The key?
Finding someone you connect with.
Contigo is a trusted hub for Latine therapists.

“No es para tanto.”
“Ya tengo a mis amigas.”

¿Te suenan familiares? Estas frases son barreras comunes para buscar ayuda.

En Salud y Arte, aprendimos sobre los diferentes tipos de terapeutas que pueden ayudarte.
🧠 Lo más importante: conectar con alguien que entienda tu cultura y lenguaje.

Empezando Contigo es un recurso clave para encontrar terapeutas Latine.
