Immigrants Rising’s Wellness Support Groups help undocumented people stay grounded and connected to community. All groups are facilitated by mental health professionals and are completely free for undocumented people ages 18+ located anywhere in the U.S. The groups are virtual, non-clinical support groups that meet for approximately 1 hour a week for 6 weeks.
In September, the following support groups will meet:

Black & Undocumented Support Group
In this group, we will explore how mindfulness can improve emotional well-being; discuss how people experience stress; learn to identify dysregulation; understand the impact of connecting mind, body, and soul; and explore different types of mindfulness practices.
Coping With Uncertainty Support Group
In this group, we will discuss the different ways that uncertainty impacts how we show up in our relationships, the personal and professional choices we make, and our overall mental and emotional well-being. The facilitator will also introduce and guide participants through various coping strategies and relaxation techniques.
Life Outside the U.S. Support Group
If you would like to be in community with other individuals who are living outside the U.S. or are in the process of making this important decision, we invite you to join us. Together, we will explore the joys and challenges of living in the U.S. as well as the new challenges and exciting possibilities of a life abroad.
UndocuLove Support Group
This group is open to any person navigating mixed status relationships and/or dating while undocumented including folks of all sexualities and gender identities. The themes discussed throughout the six weeks will be determined by the participants, because you know best what support you need.
UndocuLatinx Support Group
As a group, we will have an opportunity to reflect on experiences confronting uncertainty in the past and present. The facilitator will introduce and guide participants through coping strategies and relaxation techniques that can be utilized at any point.
UndocuLGBTQ+ Support Group
This group is open to all individuals who identify as LGBTQ seeking a safe space. We will share stories that can be mirrored and validated, discuss relevant issues facing our community, and build community in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.
UndocuWomen Support Group
This group is open to all UndocuWomen seeking a space for sharing and connection in times of uncertainty. Exploring an intersectional identity can lead us to learn new coping skills and strategies from one another as we examine the impact of our multiple identities.
