We’ve created another way to support our work with survivors of trauma in St. Louis: CSTWT holiday cards! A pack of 10 costs $10. The front reads: “Hope and Healing for the New Year,” and the inside left side features the words "May your new year be rich with joy and hope" in five languages. Call our office or order a set on our website!

Ten women sat comfortably in the community room at the midpoint of their Women’s therapy group,  eagerly awaiting information from our Interfaith Legal Services for Immigrants attorney regarding citizenship. In previous weeks the women had confided worries about their inability to learn, lack of memory, and fear of the English and civics citizenship test.

The Open Door After School program continues its work of building relationships between mentors and youth. Eight new and returning trained mentors met beginning Sept. 6th with 33 immigrant and refugee youth, ages 5 through 14, some of whom have worked with the Center for several years. Over the summer, the Center made it a goal to better assess the needs, strengths and backgrounds of the 33. Currently the program serves 17 families, from countries including Somalia, Liberia, Rwanda and Iraq, who live mainly in the South City area.
