IFR is a mental health care organization based in Millbrae, California, serving the Chicano/Latino community through a continuum of six programs for children, youth, adults, and families. A bilingual staff of mental health professionals, paraprofessionals, and community health workers supports these programs, guided by the belief that la cultura cura/culture heals. The organization serves more than 3,500 people annually. IFR began as a small outpatient mental health clinic and has since expanded to include programs for children, youth, teachers and administrators, people with HIV/AIDS, and the indigenous/Maya population. For more than 35 years, IFR has taken a leadership role in community violence prevention, school-based mental health consultations, family programming, culturally-based HIV services, and indigenous/Maya wellness, with a holistic approach intended to provide a seamless continuum of health and wellness for Chicanos/Latinos in San Francisco.
