Immigrants Rising-Mental Health Connector

Virtual wellness gatherings help undocumented young people stay grounded and connected to one another. Led by Liliana Campos, Immigrants Rising’s Mental Health Advocate, these virtual gatherings convene experienced facilitators—psychologists, coaches, traditional healers—to guide undocumented young people through educational materials and interactive activities. Liliana also shares resources for participants to check out on their own throughout the week. We hope these virtual sessions and tools can support participants’ long-term resilience and coping strategies.

Did you know that getting support for your mental and emotional well-being can help you access your strengths and build resiliency? Check out these resources that will help you stay grounded and achieve your wellness goals.

This year, for the first time, more than 600,000 immigrant workers and families—who contribute $3.2 billion in tax support to California—will be eligible for critical financial resources when they file their taxes. Governor Newsom recently announced that everyone who receives the CalEITC will also get an additional $600, as part of a new state stimulus for COVID-19 relief.
