<p> Although the Latino population is growing in high numbers in the United States, not enough effort is being made to accommodate the cultural needs of Latinos as it relates to mental health services. Latinos’ underutilization of mental health services is of concern, as not receiving the help they need results in Latinos not having the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. The purpose of this project was to write a grant and identify a funding source to implement a culturally sensitive mental health program to help Latinos suffering with depression, provide them with available resources, and increase their mental health literacy. Taking care of the mental health needs of Latinos can improve their quality of life and will benefit society as a whole. For this project, a prospective funder was identified, even though actual funding and submission of this grant proposal are not required for the completion of this project.</p><p>
