Mental health concerns among Hispanics have grown recently. Undocumented Hispanic immigrants are more likely to experience mental health problems than those with documentation. However, formal mental health service utilization rates are low within this demographic. A recent scoping review of 369 peer-reviewed articles (Mier-Vera, 2022) investigated significant factors influencing mental health care use in the Hispanic undocumented immigrant community. The results show that due to a lack of health insurance, financial hardships, fear of deportation, and limited healthcare literacy, the population did not actively seek out or use mental health services. Furthermore, the scholar spoke with participants and stakeholders, including clergy, church leaders, activists, and mental health specialists. These interviews revealed the need for more accepting and nonjudgmental settings where the community can get mental health care. "Sanando el Corazon," or Healing the Heart in English, is a Spanish-language curriculum created to improve undocumented Hispanic communities' emotional and behavioral well-being by decreasing stigma, increasing mental health knowledge, teaching coping skills, and reducing barriers to mental health services. "Sanando el Corazon" is a social innovation solution to address the mental health needs within the undocumented Hispanic community. The curriculum consists of prayers, coping skills, lessons regarding different mental health issues, ways to seek help, and creating a self-care plan. Furthermore, the curriculum was designed considering the community's experiences, partner stakeholders' suggestions, and academic research. Program facilitators will utilize a manual containing instructions on preparing and implementing the intervention. Evaluating the program will be as important as implementing it to ensure quality. Therefore, a mixed-method study will include focus groups and a pre-post test design for the participants. The use of a system that is culturally and linguistically appropriate makes the approach unique as well. The integration of faith also aligns with the Hispanic community's assertion that they feel secure in churches. In addition to continuing research and program improvement, there will be efforts to maintain continued partnerships with nearby universities. Lastly, the program empowers people to advocate for fair laws and healthcare coverage.
