In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Brenda Arenas became a mental health promoter for Grail Family Services and the Stanford Medicine Office of Community Engagement, places where she receives between 200 and 300 people a month to provide them with a service that has now become indispensable and in high demand.
Arenas' job primarily involves working with and advising primarily Latinas, Asians, and American women and mothers who come to her seeking help with mental health, COVID-19, food, and housing issues.
Thanks to constant training by more than five associations dedicated to social assistance, including Stanford University, Arenas is dedicated to promoting support programs for the community of San Jose, Redwood City and San Mateo, although she is also open to being contacted from other areas.
One of the ways in which Brenda Arenas manages to reach the community is by going in person, initially knocking from door to door and then setting up promotional tables at public events.
