*La Vida Es Preciosa en Espanol

Comunilife’s Life is Precious™ program is an innovative non-traditional  family-centered, culturally appropriate mental health and youth development program. Its purpose is to reduce suicide risk in girls  that are currently receiving clinical services. This is achieved by providing the girls and their parents with a broad array of services that they, and researchers, have identified as important to that effort. The program designed is based on a  marketing research about Latina adolescents’ and their parents’ insights regarding suicide and their perception regarding traditional mental health systems which they experience as intrusive, ineffective, and non-responsive to their needs.

Our Goals:

• To enhance the well-being of program participants suffering from mood disorders so that depression and suicidal ideation are lessened, and suicidal attempts prevented.
• To foster their long-term stability and health by strengthening parent/child relationships and the functioning of their families.
• To contribute to the existing knowledge of the causes of, and successful interventions for suicide attempts among young Latinas.
