💚 Our Hearts Are With Oak Cliff 💚

The Cannenta Center for Healing and Empowerment and the Cannenta Foundation extend our deepest condolences to the families, loved ones, and neighbors impacted by the devastating apartment complex gas explosion in Oak Cliff.

We are grieving alongside our community as we learn of the lives lost, those who have been injured, and the many families who have been displaced from their homes. We are keeping everyone affected in our thoughts and prayers and hoping that all residents are accounted for. We are also praying for the safety and well-being of the first responders who continue to work tirelessly during this difficult time.

Traumatic events can have a lasting impact on emotional and mental well-being. If you or someone you know is struggling with feelings of grief, anxiety, fear, or uncertainty, please know that you do not have to face it alone.

Cannenta is here to provide emotional support and mental health services to individuals and families in need during this time.

Together, we stand with Oak Cliff. 💚

We love our interns!

¡En este Mes de Concientización sobre la Salud Mental, queremos dedicarle un reconocimiento especial a Veronica Viera, nuestra practicante de salud mental de Cannenta Foundation, Inc!

Graduada de la Universidad de Texas en Arlington con una licenciatura en Trabajo Social y una especialización en Justicia Criminal, y actualmente cursando su maestría en Trabajo Social con enfoque en salud mental y consumo de sustancias, Verónica nos recuerda que la concientización va más allá del reconocimiento. Se trata de comprender los signos, reconocer el impacto más amplio en las personas y las comunidades, y crear un espacio para conversaciones abiertas y honestas.

¡Estamos muy agradecidos por todo lo que haces, Veronica! 💙
