Grow ARU's refugees-led art & healing justice work by donating today!
ARU's Health & Wellness program is designed to support Bhutanese Nepali youth and young adults around mental and physical wellness through various programs. The Nepali-speaking Bhutanese community is primarily a new immigrant group building their lives in the United States and has a recent history of challenges in accessing mental health services, and even space to discuss mental health. Through our programs, we seek to promote mental, physical, and emotional well-being to support healing and build community belonging.
The program also works to address barriers that many of our communities face by creating a space for open conversation about our experiences and the challenges we face in our daily lives, and connecting community members with resources in our networks.
Partnership with Health Right International (HRI), a global health leader of over 3 decades, to provide problem management and stress management services to our Bhutanese community members (16 years and older) in Central Pennsylvania.
Focusing on skill development, teamwork, and personal growth. Led by experienced coaches, the program teaches not only soccer fundamentals but also promotes values like discipline, respect, and perseverance.
