Sidra Community Wellness Program

 

The Sidra Community Wellness Program focuses on wellness among Middle Eastern and North African communities in Alameda County.

The program offers culturally responsive services for immigrants facing challenges with adapting to life in the United States.

We provide outreach and educational services, preventive counseling, consultations to organizations and community leaders, and referrals to available resources and social supports that are designed to create ease in the lives of immigrants.

The intention of the program is to promote and support social and psychological wellness and healing among Middle Eastern and North African immigrant communities settling down in Alameda County.
