CENTER FOR EMPOWERING REFUGEES INC

CERI is a grassroots, non-profit organization founded in 2005 by a small group of bilingual/bicultural mental health professionals. It is dedicated to providing culturally competent mental health and other social services to refugee and immigrant families with multiple layers of complex needs, exposure to violence and trauma both in their current environment and in their native countries, and weakening intergenerational relationships. The agency's focus is on refugees and immigrants from Afghanistan, Bosnia, Cambodia and Iran. Presently the majority of our 200 clients are Cambodian refugees living in Oakland, California.
