On June 7th at 6:30 p.m. Jose Diaz and Karen Dworski will be presenting a slide presentation for immigrants, Taking Care of Ourselves: A workshop for Immigrants on Stress and Anxiety (virtual program) - what is stress? How does it affect us? What helps?

 

This is a mental health zoom presentation for immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, in Spanish and English through United Action Connecticut. It is sponsored by the West Hartford Library and other program partners are Golden Door Hartford and the West Hartford Mayor's Youth Council. We are aware that many immigrants and especially those without documentation don't have health insurance so access to mental health services are limited.  The presentations are one way to address this need.

 

We have also put together a list of mental health agencies who provide behavioral health treatment (therapy) with a sliding fee scale.  We have compiled a list of organizations that offer assistance and support to immigrants. These 2 lists will be located on the websites of the West Hartford Library, UACT, and Golden Door. 

 

Please forward the link below to immigrants who may be interested in attending this zoom program.
