Restoring La Maceta
There’s a metaphor for grief that describes the healing process as gluing a broken flower pot or in Spanish – una maceta – back together after it breaks. The pot will never look or function the same as it did before it was broken – just as a family will never look or function the same as it did before the death of a loved one.
Centro Sanar seeks to challenge the traditional medicalized culture of mental health and trauma care. The organization’s clinicians’ accompany community members in their journeys to heal and thrive by providing consistent and continual free mental health services, trauma care and case management, all rooted in restorative and collective practices of care.
In this episode of Change Agents, producer Grace Del Vecchio unpacks the instrumental role the organization played in one family’s long and complicated healing journey after the death of their son and brother to homicide in 2017.

Restaurando La Maceta
Hay un refrán que dice que la aflicción es como una maceta rota. La maceta nunca se va ver igual o funcionar igual a lo que era antes que se rompió— igual a que una familia no se va ver igual o funcionar igual antes de la muerte de una persona querida.
El Centro Sanar pelea contra la cultura tradicional y medicinal para el cuidado de salud y trauma.
Los clínicos de la organización acompañan a los miembros de la comunidad en su camino para recuperarse de sus traumas con servicios mentales consistentes y gratuitos, cuidado de trauma y el manejo de casos, y todo bajo prácticas colectivas y restaurativas.
En este episodio de Change Agents, productora Grace Del Vecchio examina el papel importante de la organización en el proceso de curación largo y complicado para una familia despues de la muerte de su hijo y hermano de homicidio en 2017.
