Five days after Huricane María, mission teams from Ponce Health Sciences University started offering mental health services to the worst-hit communities in Puerto Rico. Thankfully with the dedication of these volunteers we have been able to impact communities in Ponce, Jayuya, Adjuntas, Jayuya, Guayanilla and Utuado. With the help and dedication of all who have participated from these efforts, the number of communities and people impacted will continue growing.

This community composed of about 150 families had been completely cut off as their bridges were washed away. The PHSU team was the first medical aid that this village had received.
