Cabrini Immigrant Services (CIS), Dobbs Ferry, held a workshop entitled, “Construyendo su aldea en el 2025: Abogando y fortaleciéndose en el nuevo año” (“Building Your Village in 2025: Advocating and Growing Stronger in the New Year”). The workshop was presented by Betsy Suarez, a licensed mental health counselor. In light of the possible changes that may take place for immigrants, we wanted everyone to be equipped with as much information as possible.
Betsy spoke about the importance of coming together to support one another. She provided everyone with a list of resources that are available to them both in Dobbs Ferry and in Westchester County. The participants were also encouraged to talk about their culture and their traditions to the younger generation. She spoke about the importance of keeping their stories alive.
Everyone left feeling empowered and grateful for the information that was shared. We look forward to Betsy returning soon.
