As Hispanic/Latino(a)/Latinx Heritage month comes to a close, we at Association House are proud to recognize and celebrate the culture, history, and contributions of the diverse communities that make up our Hispanic/Latino(a)/Latinx populations. We have a long way to go when it comes to fighting systematic inequalities, and this month serves as an important milestone of our strength in unity. Linked resources in bio!

Learn the difference between Hispanic, Latinx, and
Learn the difference between Hispanic, Latinx, and Latino/a. Let's educate ourselves on the importance of using the right words and how it's not interchangeable. Hispanic refers to people from Spain or Spanish-speaking origin. The term Hispanic has been highly rejected due to its ties with Spain, which colonized much of Latin America. Latino refers to people of Latin American descent living in the United States. Latinx is a gender-neutral or non-binary term for Latino/a and pushes back on the gendered language to be more inclusive. To learn more, read the article from NPR. Link in bio!

Monday, October 11th is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Although our local governments, with the exception of the Chicago Public Schools, do not yet fully recognize this holiday, the movement is in place to honor the original history of our nation and to celebrate the lives, traditions, and stories of Indigenous peoples.

In honor of Hispanic & Latinx Heritage month and S
In honor of Hispanic & Latinx Heritage month and Suicide Awareness month, Association House wanted to highlight that suicide is the second leading cause of death for Hispanic people. Hispanic and Latinx make up 51% of the U.S. population; however, the lack of access to and the use of mental healthcare is underrepresented. This leaves those who prefer to communicate in Spanish without culturally and linguistically competent mental health professionals. At Association House, we offer counseling services with bilingual therapists who focus on the whole person, providing trauma-informed, and culturally affirming therapy. Link in bio for more information! En honor al mes de la Herencia Hispana y Latinx y el mes de la Conciencia del Suicidio, Association House ha querido destacar que el suicidio es la segunda causa principal de muerte para las personas Hispanas. Los Hispanos y Latinx constituyen el 51% de la población de EE. UU.; Sin embargo, la falta de acceso y la utilización de atención a la salud mental es insuficientemente representada. Esto deja a quienes prefieren comunicarse en español sin profesionales de salud mental que sean competentes en cultural y lingüísticamente. En Association House, ofrecemos servicios de consejería con terapeutas bilingües que se enfocan en la persona en su totalidad, brindando una terapia de afirmación cultural e informada sobre el trauma.
