The Holistic Health Programs aims to improve physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being of our community members of all ages. To achieve this goal, the Holistic Health Programs staff work in the overlapping three areas: community outreach, individual and family interventions, and bridging community members and their service providers.

In collaboration with our partner organizations, our staff provide programs and activities that will:

  • Facilitate individuals & families’ confidence in managing their health: Empowerment; and

  • Increase community members’ Access to culturally and linguistically appropriate services.

Immigrang Family Resource Program

The goal of the IFRP is to ensure that low-income immigrant families and other limited-English speaking persons are able to thrive by reducing barriers when seeking public benefits (nutritional, medical, housing, psychological, childcare, employment), as well as the cash support they need for proper health, well-being, and economic self-sufficiency.

Our Khmer-English bilingual staff members assist you in applying for cash assistance, Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). We also provide interpretations and translation services to the community members, the information such as, types and eligibilities for available public benefits. If needed, we will make referrals to appropriate agencies.
