Refugees and asylees often face difficulties in resuming their careers once resettled in the U.S. The IRC in NY is working with an extraordinary Special Immigrant Visa holder, Tamana, to rebuild her career in education.

This Mental Health Awareness month we take a deep dive into the Mental Health department at the IRC in Dallas.

Over the next three months, the IRC in Salt Lake City will take a deep dive describing our efforts to serve refugee families as they resettle in our community, work toward self-sufficiency, and positively integrate as a new neighbor in the Beehive State.

Speaking the same language is not a prerequisite for friendship for Joanne, a dedicated family mentor volunteer, who continues to build supportive relationships with newly arrived refugee families.

I am honored to have joined the IRC as the new Executive Director for Northern California. The scale of our efforts in the region last year -- resettling  roughly Afghan humanitarian parolees since August 2021, alongside another 448 refugees and SIVs since October 2021.
