One of the goals of Terry Reilly Health Services’ farmworker outreach program
has been to share our educational videos and radio stories, made in-house, with
community health centers and agencies that serve Spanish-speaking populations.

Last summer we wrote and produced a Spanish language video in collaboration with
an Idaho production company and theatre group. For the last six months the Terry
Reilly Health Services (TRHS) mental health outreach program has been showing
the video to farmworker families in a variety of settings (parent meetings,
classrooms, support groups, adolescent conferences and churches). We have been
very happy with how viewing the video has allowed farmworker families to discuss
a wide range of issues in their lives.

The video, No Está Solo, depicts a farmworker family in counseling as family
members confront cross-cultural adjustment, survive traumatic events, and
negotiate the common challenges of communication, setting limits, teaching
values, traditions and culture.

This video is our best work yet. Creating it has been a community effort from
the essays Hispanic adolescents wrote about the challenges of growing up in two
cultures to the adult focus groups, where parents shared their hopes and dreams
for their children’s future. Local Hispanic actors drew upon their own
experiences to create the emotional intensity of this video. The production
company and theatre director provided their services at below cost.

If you are interested in using this video for your own outreach and educational
efforts, please contact us. Note: quantities are limited.
