Wellness in Action
Wellness in Action (WiA) is the workforce training and development program of the
Center for Empowering Refugees and Immigrants (CERI).
We support community leaders from indigenous, refugee, and immigrant communities interested in promoting mental health and wellness. We offer mini-grant funding, technical assistance, clinical consultation, and training to support grassroots community leaders with skill building for careers in community wellness and mental health.
The WiA program promotes a holistic and culturally sustaining approach to community mental health in which we promote career pathways for grassroots community leaders while promoting diverse strategies to enhance the mental health and overall quality of life of new immigrant, refugee and indigenous communities.
