Multicultural Counseling
Lives are rebuilt by providing evidenced based mental health treatment with a focus on cultural awareness and sensitivity. Hope is restored through healing wounds of trauma and torture so clients can move forward to productive, peaceful lives.
Psychiatric Support Services
Accompanying refugee clients to the psychiatrist helps maintain a continuum of care leading to overall emotional health. Clients are provided psychoeducation on the importance of medication and compliance, medication management, assistance overcoming barriers to outpatient psychiatric care, support during discharge planning if hospitalized and long term follow-up care to help break the cycle of repeated hospital admissions.
Barrier Reduction
Barriers to mental health can be a preexisting condition with the refugee and immigrant populations leading to a lack of access to services. Barriers such as limited knowledge, fear, and uncertainty potentially keep refugees unhealthy and unsuccessfully integrated into communities. Steps to reduce barriers such as exposure to pharmacies to refill medications or helping clients learn to communicate on their smart phones brings down the walls to isolation and increases mental well-being.
Behavioral Case Management
Behavioral Case Managers are part of the multi-disciplinary team approach utilized to provide wrap around care from case open to close. Services include psychoeducation, barrier reduction, specialized referrals, and community engagement support.
Help Them Heal
Refugee therapy is grant funded, but only covers a limited number of refugees per month and NO funding for immigrants. With the expected increase in new arrivals especially Afghan families, we need your help to provide services to these individuals. Your support can help them heal.
