The video, from the Health Happens Here campaign from the California Endowment, describes how a unique program La Cultura Cura (English: The Cultural Cure) is educating individuals, re-embracing traditional values of family, culture and community, and conducting community service to capitalize on resources that can promote healing and growth in a community traumatized by violence.
Salinas, Calif., is 75% Latino.
