Initiatives

DH/Perfil Latino TV, Inc. provides educational programming rich in useful and easy-to-understand information to help bridge the cultural gap Hispanics face. We offer:

Self-health management community workshops and promotores trainings (i.e. health and wellbeing programs, the Standford Diabetes Self-Management program, and our signature program “Su Corazón, Su Vida” sponsored in part by OMMH.)
Personal development workshops to help socially and economically disadvantaged Latinos recognize their self-worth, values and strengths and become the person they have being created to be.
The Perfil Latino TV program is broadcasted weekly on Telemundo 62 and local Comcast Ch 190.

Su Corazón Su Vida

Our signature program, “Your Heart, Your Life” aims at helping to break the cycle of lack of awareness and knowledge among Latinos on the consequences of diabetes and other risk factors for heart disease. It does this by educating and promoting healthy lifestyles in a culturally and linguistically manner. Perfil Latino is using the “Your Heart, Your Life” lay educator heart health program, which was created especially for diverse communities including Hispanic communities by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The “Your Heart, Your Life” curriculum is comprehensive and provides the right tools to educate promotores de salud about heart health, so they can in turn educate other community members.

VisiónYes Personal Development Workshops

Change starts with the individual and the best we can do to help those in need is to help them recognize their innate worth and to unleash the best of themselves.

VisiónYes is committed to making a sustainable impact in the lives of Latinos through its Self-Efficacy program that provides self-development workshops and one-one coaching to disadvantaged Latinos. The Self-Efficacy Project was designed to achieve the vision of an engaged society in which all individuals have achieved economic equity, health, safety, and access to opportunities.
