ALMA Peer Support for Latino Women
What is stronger than a woman? A woman united with other women. If you are a Latina woman in Summit County, you are invited to be a part of ALMA (Amigas Latinas Motivando el Alma).
ALMA provides an alternative for support and conversation. The program hosts monthly group sessions and then pairs women with a peer mentor, a companera, who has faced similar challenges and completed the program. You will learn strategies to relieve stress, take care of yourself, and how to achieve your goals in a confidential environment.
ALMA is a free program offered to Spanish speaking women ages 16+. Participants are paired with a Peer or Compañera and will receive 10 visits where they will meet one on one with their Peer. The program is intended to be mostly in person to break down barriers of isolation and create strong connections in and to the Summit County community and all of the resources we have to offer.

ACCION Peer Support for Latino Men
As men, you also carry obligations and mandates that society has imposed on you, which you must fulfill in order to be recognized as a “real man”.
ACCION is a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space where you will visualize these societal pressures that generate discomfort and get the support you need to be able to put them aside little by little, benefiting you and those around you.
This support group is a way for men to talk collectively, and work on managing emotions. Especially those that bring discomfort and difficulties in their relationships. Together you will learn strategies to relieve stress, take care of yourself, and achieve goals.
The program is completely FREE and hosts monthly group sessions on the last Thursday of every month at 6:00 pm. The program is in Spanish and is offered in person at FIRC in Silverthorne or virtually through Zoom.
