Session 6 of the Wellness & Art for a New Start Series – Language, Mental Health & Community Support for Immigrants

Join us for another insightful session of House of Friendship’s “Wellness & Art for a New Start” series, proudly supported by Wake County Government Health and Human Services / Public Health. This time, we focus on two vital aspects of immigrant wellbeing: the mental health impact of language barriers and the importance of understanding insurance options for community support.

🎤 Zahra Yaari – In this online presentation, Zahra explores how language acquisition and communication confidence can significantly influence the mental health of immigrants. She discusses the emotional challenges tied to language barriers and offers guidance for building resilience through learning and connection.

🛡️ Naser Sadeghi – Speaking in person, Naser discusses the critical importance of insurance for immigrants in the U.S. He breaks down essential insurance concepts, including Medicare, and explains how coverage can protect individuals and families from devastating financial strain in emergencies. Through real-life examples and slides, he offers accessible knowledge to empower newcomers to make informed choices.

Whether you're an immigrant navigating new systems or a community ally, this session offers meaningful tools for empowerment, inclusion, and well-being.
