Free Help From Trained Professionals
Whether in the homeland or the diaspora community, Uyghurs are struggling to cope with extreme mental stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. It takes a toll on our daily lives. But we do not need to deal with it on our own. There is a community of health professionals who want to stand in solidarity with us. They are eager to assist Uyghurs amidst this crisis.
​
If you know of anyone suffering from stress, despair, and grief, there are trained professionals who can meet privately with them to provide help, at low cost or no cost. Email us at uyghurwellness@gmail.com. All names will be kept confidential.

“My counselor makes time for me, listens to me, and sends me resources. It helps a lot…” — Rena
“It’s been very helpful, My counselor gives me good suggestions. He has helped me set up goals like exercise, not to overschedule myself, and finding someone to be accountable to. When we first started I never believed I could have made such progress.”
