Community Health Worker 

Koreatown Mental Health Center

Certified Personal Medicine Coach

My name is Kassandra Martinez Flores. My passion is to help the community and I am currently working as a community health worker at Koreatown Mental Health Center.

In 2022, I was introduced to WRAP and the healing journey it comes with. Taking WRAP was an eye opener for myself I thought I was doing "okay" but when I began to learn so much about others and myself, I realized to myself wait a minute I am going through anxiety, depression, and a rollercoaster. I need to begin to heal before I can help others. As I began to heal, I realized that the people I was working with began to understand that there is a healing process. Later in 2023, I was offered to take the Personal Medicine training. As I began to take the training, I learned that WRAP and Personal Medicine come hand in hand. Personal Medicine has motivated me to work harder to help others find their healing within. I am given the opportunity to facilitate a WRAP group in which I plan to add Personal Medicine. My goal is helping our community heal and allow them to understand that although we all have mental health challenges there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
