The nonprofit Latino Behavioral Health Services offers mental health services like counseling, peer support groups and classes in English, Spanish and Portuguese for children and adults.

SALT LAKE CITY — Latino Behavioral Health Services has made huge strides in closing the gap in mental health services for Utah's Hispanic population.

Board Chairwoman and co-founder Teresa Molina said the nonprofit was established to address what she saw was a stark lack of mental health services for the Latino community. The new space has two living room areas as well as a kitchen and dining room table that Alegre hopes will encourage clients to gather around and connect with one another. Maps of different Latin American countries and a handmade tapestry decorate the walls and the youth room features posters of characters from the Disney movie "Inside Out."
