De Difícil a Dulce: Navigating Taboo Topics in Multigen Families with Latinx Therapy and Breyers

Breyers, your family favorite ice cream brand has partnered with Latinx Therapy to launch Conversaciones Vainilla – a program to help encourage, inspire and facilitate meaningful conversations amongst Hispanic/Latino families. 

Latinos have limited access to culturally responsive services that reflect an understanding of their cultural norms, and acculturation experiences. With Conversaciones Vainilla, the goal is to encourage nuestra familias to engage in behavioral health conversation about everyday topics such as therapy, dating, religion, and finances among others.

“Nationwide, there are only 10.8% Hispanic and Latino identifying Marriage and Family Therapists, and 5% of Hispanic psychologists” said Latinx Therapy Founder Adriana Alejandre. “As a valued brand within Hispanic households, we’ve partnered with Breyers to spark conversations within families to demystify the stigmas that repeat within multigenerational household.” 

Tune in to hear all about Adriana's story, Latinx Therapy, and how to sweeten up difficult conversations.
