Mental Health in Wilmington
The mental health needs of minorities are often unique based upon their cultural or ethnic heritage. The Latin American Community Center provides culturally appropriate educational, outreach, and mental health-related programs to Hispanic and Latino residents of Wilmington. In particular, the agency seeks to inform residents about the dangers of drug and alcohol consumption, and empower individuals to make choices that improve, rather than detract from, their overall mental and physical health. Contact the Center at 302-655-7338 for additional information.2. West End Neighborhood House is another agency that provides mental health-related programs to culturally diverse peoples. Their outcomes-driven programs focus on self-sufficiency, achieving maximum potential, and living responsibly and harmoniously in the community. Life skills courses help individuals develop leadership skills and healthy social, emotional and behavioral habits. To find out more about these services, call 302-658-4171.3
Mental illness disproportionately impacts individuals who are financially unstable. In order to stabilize those who are poverty-stricken or at-risk of becoming poor, the United Way provides financial services that place people in affordable housing, provide workforce training in order to earn a decent wage, and teach individuals about financial planning. By providing these support services, the United Way helps increase the likelihood that Wilmington residents can be financially secure and live without the stress and anxiety of a life of poverty. For further details, call 302-573-3700.4
Current Initiatives
The Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence has undertaken an Engaging Men Initiative in an effort to prevent abuse. The central focus of the initiative is to educate young men about healthy ways to handle conflict, improve methods of communication with an intimate partner, and develop a deeper understanding of the negative impacts of violence. Additionally, the initiative seeks to dispel the notion that men must by hypermasculine, exhibit aggression, and have an unequal level of power in a relationship. Call 302-658-2958 to obtain additional information.5
