Refugee groups can develop serious mental health challenges as a result of the trauma experiences of war, torture, and rape. Refugee and new immigrant families are commonly under a great deal of economic, social and acculturation stress as well. Resettlement can be riddled by unemployment, financial insecurity, poverty and inadequate housing. These pressures may create tension in families and sometimes leads to problem behaviors. As a result of these issues, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression occur at significantly higher levels for refugees and other traumatized groups.

Tidwell, through its professional services and community collaboration efforts, provides individually driven and community-based services that address pre-migration trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder. In addition, Tidwell creates awareness programs, community education and other support services that reduce biases and stereotypes, contributing to reducing the barriers to social and economic integration in our community.

As part of its holistic approach to mental health services for refugees, new immigrants, and other vulnerable groups, Tidwell’s workers and clients collaboratively design individualized treatment plans to promote and foster personal growth in a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and compassionate environment. Our services are accessible and targeted to facilitate a pathway to care, quality of life, and overall well-being of individuals of all ages, cultures, and faiths.
