Latinx Therapist Project

🎉 A win for students, future mental health professionals, and Colorado communities!

🚨We’re proud to celebrate the passage of HB26-1143: Safety, Not Status, a bill led by that removes unnecessary barriers for students pursuing internships, clinical practicums, and other educational opportunities.

🌟Latinx Therapist Project was honored to support this effort through testimony from our Executive Director, Bridget Sanchez, LMFT, LAC, who spoke about how SSN requirements can prevent qualified, bilingual, and culturally responsive students from completing their training and entering the mental health workforce. This new law helps ensure that opportunity is determined by qualifications and safety—not immigration paperwork.

Thank you to Juntos Community for your leadership and to everyone who advocated for this important change. Together, we’re creating stronger pathways for the next generation of providers our communities need. 💛
