Health Initiatives
SEWA-AIFW’s Health Initiative Programs focus on meeting the health needs of the community.

Mental Health Awareness
The South Asian community is surrounded by a stigma regarding our mental health, and regardless of our backgrounds/successes/education, can suffer from depression and other issues. Don’t suffer in silence – reach out for help and get a referral to one of our culturally sensitive counselors. Find out more about our free mental health professionals here.
