Empower your team with customized professional development designed to strengthen organizational wellbeing and advance equity. Our trainings help staff build effective communication skills, deliver trauma‑informed care, and prevent secondary traumatic stress—all grounded in social justice principles, including anti‑racist, 2SQT+‑affirming, and liberatory frameworks. Each session is tailored to your organization’s culture, goals, and community, ensuring learning that is practical, relevant, and deeply human‑centered.

This team-based consultation engages UCSC students, faculty, staff, alumni and other partners to provide consultative support to UCSC community members to develop programs, policies, and implement strategies aimed at strengthening the structures that support undocumented students in their academic and personal pursuits at UCSC.

Dr. Minero created this guided relaxation meditation on October 25,2017 as part of the NLPA/United We Dream collaboration to support mental health and wellbeing in our undocumented community.

This guide was written by Dr. Minero and her colleagues, including mental health providers and scholars who identify as immigrants, who are current DACA recipients or formerly undocumented, and who have experience working with DACA recipients through clinical work, community organizing, and academic research. It provides mental health providers who wish to work with DACA recipients, or who are currently providing services to them, with introductory content to develop competencies to work with this community.
