Wellness in Action

Wellness in Action (WiA) is a workforce training and development program for para-professional community mental health advocates from un-served and under-served refugee and new immigrant communities in the Bay Area. 
​We offer:

Mini-grant funding, technical assistance to plan and implement projects with mini-grant funding, professional skills trainings and clinical consultation to support grassroots community leaders with building skills for careers in the public behavioral/mental health field. ​

WiA also works with government agencies and community-based organizations to develop career paths and pipelines in the public behavioral/mental health field that are relevant for refugee and new immigrant communities. The ultimate goal of WiA is to improve mental health access for unserved and underserved refugee and new immigrant communities in the Bay Area.
