MEET HECTOR REGALADO: A VISIONARY LEADER WITH A PASSION FOR CHANGE

Hector Regalado founded Hector’s Helping Hand out of a deep desire to give back to his community. Growing up in Chicago, he saw firsthand the challenges many face when it comes to accessing mental health and wellness resources. Fueled by his own experiences and a commitment to helping others, Hector has made it his mission to break down these barriers, empowering individuals through education, support, and compassion. His leadership and personal journey are at the heart of everything we do, shaping the values and pillars that guide our organization.

THE FOUNDATION OF OUR MISSION

Our mission is built on a holistic approach to well-being, anchored by four key pillars that guide everything we do. These pillars represent the core values that drive our efforts to uplift and empower individuals and communities.

1

ACCESSIBILITY

ACCESS TO CARE IS A BASIC RIGHT

We believe that everyone deserves access to the care they need, no matter their financial situation. We’re breaking down barriers, ensuring that mental health services reach the people who need them most. This isn’t just about providing therapy; it’s about leveling the playing field so that everyone, no matter their background, can pursue their best life. We fight every day to make sure no one in our community is left behind.

Our mission is to unite individuals and communities, fostering resilience through education, outreach, and support. Together, we can uplift those in need and create lasting change, because when we stand as one, there's nothing we can't overcome.

NEARLY 20% OF ADULTS WITH MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS CAN’T ACCESS THE CARE THEY NEED.

At Hector’s Helping Hand, we’re here to close that gap. Our mission is to make mental health services accessible for ALL, ensuring everyone gets the support they deserve regardless of financial circumstances.

No barriers. No limits. Just care.
