Asian Women's Shelter

Empowering all through mental health awareness. When we break the silence and stigma towards mental health, we can spread support and foster emotional well-being. 💜💚🎗️

"I have gained a new understanding of how my different emotions and feelings can play a part in positively or negatively impacting my mental health. Finding new alternatives of self-care and learning to ground myself, being in the present moment is what I find helps rejuvenate my body and mind." - YAAAS Member

This Arab American Heritage Month, we honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Arab communities while uplifting the work of our Arab Women’s Services program.

Arab Women’s Services at Asian Women’s Shelter addresses the urgent needs of Arab survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking through culturally responsive, survivor-centered support. Whether someone is seeking emotional support, legal referrals, housing resources, or simply a safe and confidential space to talk, the program is here to listen and provide support in Arabic.
