FEATURED PROGRAM

The Home Program

The Home Program provides mental health services, individual and family counseling, mentoring, and cultural activities for refugee children and their families in St. Louis, MO.

Program staff use group-focused, community-oriented approaches reflecting specific beliefs, customs, and practices from their refugee clients’ cultures.

The Home Program works to help refugees re-establish a sense of community, to feel more self-reliant and capable, and to enhance their capacity to be in charge of their own lives. Staff act as “cultural brokers,” aiming to help refugees cope with unfamiliar and often confusing requirements of social services and school systems, helping them adjust to the ins and outs of a new culture and different language.
