John, we believe that wellness is a right at Immigrants Rising regardless of immigration status.
This spring, we hosted our first round of Wellness Support Groups. Three intimate groups led by experienced facilitators, running for six weeks, built support and community for 10-12 undocumented immigrants each.
We’ve been inspired by our amazing community to continue this work and launch three new support groups, starting the week of August 16.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our previous participants have shared with us:
“Don’t be afraid. You’ll be in good hands, and the sense of community you’ll feel is like a breath of fresh air.”
“I believe anyone who is undocumented hungers to be accepted and to feel safe. This group offers those two things.”
If you are not undocumented or can’t participate in these groups, can you forward this email to three of your contacts? These groups make a difference in the lives of undocumented young people, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles.
Thanks for all you do,
The Mental Health Team at Immigrants Rising |
