Wilder Center for Social Healing
Community Center with Gathering Space & Support Groups for Southeast Asian Adults in Saint Paul
Body
Wilder's Center for Social Healing offers a place for South Asian and Southeast Asian adults to gather for support, fellowship, shared meals and healing. Establishing community connections is important for people who immigrate to or seek refuge or asylum in the U.S., and who are trying to adjust to a new way of living. Each person who comes to the Center is welcomed as family and valued as an integral part of our community.
Now Offering Afghan Support Services
The Center for Social Healing now offers support for members of the Afghan community. Staff who speak Pashto and Dari can help adults and their families access resources, build life skills, assist with day-to-day needs and foster community connections.
Contact socialhealing@wilder.org for more information about our Afghan services!
