Refugee Resilience and Mental Health During COVID-19
Tuesday, October 13 | 12:00pm ET | Webinar
Hailing from countries with extreme hardships in the form of war, dictatorships, and oppression, refugees often show true resilience, rebuilding their lives despite the adversities they have faced. One of the main pillars of HIAS’ work is to help our refugee clients work through the psychological distress they have experienced in order to settle into their new communities. Join us in marking World Mental Health Day and learn more about how HIAS and our partners build community-based mental health programming for refugees, and how this work has evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s Time to Vote for Welcome
Thursday, October 15 | 1:00pm ET | Webinar
Amid the largest refugee crisis in recorded history, the U.S. has slammed its doors on tens of thousands of refugees. The future of refugee resettlement and asylum hinge on the positions of the leaders we elect in November, and we are calling on all candidates from all political parties in all parts of the country to commit to welcoming refugees. During this “action call” we’ll hear stories from refugees and activists impacted by anti-refugee policies, and map out a plan for these last few weeks before the election.
