The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot and evaluate Enlace Familiar, a culturally responsive intervention designed to support Latino adolescents in discussing their mental health needs with caregivers or other trusted adults. The study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and examine its potential impact on mental health communication among Latino adolescents ages 14-18 experiencing mental health concerns.

The intervention will be implemented in partnership with community health workers (CHWs), who will serve as culturally relevant facilitators.
