Paloma is being evaluated in three Maryland pediatric practices and currently only available for referral there. We are a culturally responsive, Spanish-language program designed to support parents and caregivers of Latine adolescents who are experiencing mental health concerns, including suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Providers play an important role in identifying eligible families, introducing PALOMA as a source of support, and helping families feel comfortable engaging with mental health resources in their language. Our CHWs carry out the intervention to strengthen family communication, increase caregiver self-efficacy, and connect families with supportive tools and resources.

This page shares information about PALOMA’s approach, educational resources, and materials developed for clinicians and partners. For questions on other available resources or how to access PALOMA materials, please contact our team.
