Each year, ORIS serves hundreds of new American families through its case management services. Case managers are out in the community with clients at doctors’ appointments, trainings, workshops, job interviews, home visits, and community meetings. We meet with clients individually to assess their needs and empower them to navigate a variety of areas such as employment, healthcare, housing, outreach, family issues, parenting, literacy, immigration legalization, and referral services. Our Case Management team will work with any new American in need of support or assistance. Below are some of our more specific services offered through this program.
The Healthy Families Program utilizes education-based prevention, skill-building community workshops, and direct client service to improve wellness within familial relationships.
This program has a focus in violence prevention, as well as directly assisting victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking victims in a manner that affirms the survivors’ culture. Our multi-lingual Victim Advocate team develops education and prevention strategies that highlight culturally specific issues, and works with individual clients and their families through a bridging case management approach. Our team also provides culturally specific resources and services that address the safety, economic, housing, and workplace needs of survivors.
Building knowledge and skills for engaging in banking, credit building, and savings is a critical component of self-sufficiency for new Americans. Many refugees arrive in the U.S. from countries with unreliable banking systems and/or with less-formal credit systems. ORIS’s case management staff work with refugees and immigrants to develop an understanding of American financial systems and healthy household financial management. Financial literacy workshops will also begin in late 2022. One-on-one services are available at all locations. Financial literacy workshops available in Worcester, MA.
