UN Day in Support of Victims of Torture, June 26, with Dr. Jamal Fawaz

June 25, 2018 By Jason Baker

In recognition of the United Nations Day in Support of Victims of Torture and in collaboration with the Missouri Historical Society and the Refugee Congress, Bilingual International is proud to present Washington, D.C. area psychiatrist and author Dr. Jamal Fawaz. Dr. Fawaz will discuss the innate human need to fit in, to belong, to find a “base” – specifically, the challenges for immigrants and refugees to find this base in the United States after 9/11. For younger Muslim immigrants and refugees “in search of a base,” this journey can be especially daunting. When an individual is forced to abandon everything in the face of violence, war, and/or torture, the struggle to find one’s footing in a new environment has the potential to yield less than positive results.

Dr. Fawaz will offer insights based on his work on how to create a welcoming “base” for those who have suffered greatly.

Sign language interpretation, as well as light refreshments, will be provided at this program.  June 26, 7pm, Lee Auditorium, Missouri History Museum.

Bilingual International has secured a federal grant award and will be rolling out a new program for recent Afghan evacuees in St. Louis. The Services to Afghan Survivors Impacted by Combat (SASIC) program will provide supportive case management and counseling for families impacted by war-related trauma. The 3-year, $1.8 million award will fund an Afghan-led and -staffed team of bilingual case managers with attached therapists and contracted psychiatry services. We are also proud to be working with Welcome Neighbor STL and the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis to provide community supports and input. Details in the linked article! ... See MoreSee Less
