About
Over the past year, CERI had notable successes and accomplishments in two key areas: YOUTH/YOUNG ADULT SERVICES: CERI expanded its services for at-risk youth and young adults in three ways. First, it launched a Co-Ed Support Group facilitated by a second-generation Cambodian American staff member, age 35. Currently, 14 youth and young adults (ages 16-22) participate in the weekly group, which focuses on both leadership and advocacy skills and emotional support. The participants in this group also created CERIs new youth-led Youth Development Team, which meets regularly with the City of Oaklands Equity and Race Initiative team. Finally, in response to the local need for LGBTQ services specifically for Southeast Asians, CERI now provides a drama therapy group with a social justice focus, as well as individual therap as needed, for up to 20 Southeast Asian LGBTQ young adults (ages 18 to 30), facilitated by an MFTI from the LGBTQ Southeast Asian community. The group has been instrumental in providing support in combating stigma, homelessness, prevention of major mental illness, and even suicidal ideation among this vulnerable population of young people as they explore their sexual identity in the context of their own culture and society at large. ADULT/OLDER ADULT SERVICES:CERI continues to provide clinical services, support groups, care management, and community activities for its adults and older adults, who were most directly impacted by the Khmer Rouge genocide. Over the last year, it has continued its Drama Therapy group for adult survivors, which has helped empower them to tell their story and achieve a new level of healing. CERI has also hired a new Cambodian American interpreter and care manager, who helped revive the womens groups. As a result, the number of individuals participating in these support groups has increased and more elders are taking a leadership role in the community.
