Somos Líderes (We are Leaders) Fellowship Launch: Prioritizing Mental Health in Advocacy and Activism

At ConnectEd Consulting, LLC, we are proud to announce the launch of the Somos Líderes Fellowship Program, a transformative initiative developed in partnership with Somos Tejas to equip young adults in Dallas with leadership and advocacy skills. This program emphasizes four critical pillars: Civic Engagement, Professionalism, Mental Health, and Financial Literacy, addressing the complex challenges faced by emerging leaders today.

In this month’s spotlight, we focus on mental health, a cornerstone of effective leadership and activism. The fellowship’s mental health curriculum teaches fellows to prioritize self-care, manage stress, foster supportive environments, and build resilience—empowering them to lead with strength and sustainability.

Through this initiative, Somos Tejas and ConnectEd Consulting are not only nurturing the next generation of changemakers but also redefining leadership to include holistic well-being. Follow along as we share more insights and updates on this impactful program.
