COPO provides specialized mental health services tailored to the needs of immigrant and underserved communities. We focus on supporting undocumented individuals, seniors, youth, and at-risk adults who often face unique mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and social isolation.
Our Services Include:
Our services are trauma-informed, community-based, and linguistically inclusive. Counseling is offered in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi to ensure accessibility and trust.
Impact at a Glance:
COPO is committed to breaking stigma and ensuring every member of the community has access to compassionate, culturally relevant mental health care.
OPO’s Women’s Empowerment Program is rooted in the belief that when women are educated, supported, and equipped with the right tools, they can break cycles of oppression and transform not only their own lives, but also their families and communities. This initiative uplifts immigrant and underserved women—particularly from Muslim, Arab, South Asian (MASA), and other culturally diverse backgrounds—who face barriers including poverty, gender-based violence, lack of education, language isolation, and immigration-related vulnerabilities.
Core Services and Initiatives:
Crisis Support and Referrals
Immediate support and navigation for women experiencing abuse, trauma, or displacement. Staff assist with connecting clients to domestic violence shelters, food access, legal aid, mental health services, and immigration resources.
Educational Workshops
Workshops on women’s legal rights, family law, public benefits, self-care, financial literacy, parenting, and housing—offered in English, Urdu, Arabic, and Bengali.
Skills Development and Leadership Training
Health and Wellness Support
Health workshops on reproductive and mental health, chronic illness, nutrition, postpartum care, and stress management—all offered with cultural sensitivity.
Community Building and Peer Support
Safe spaces and peer circles for women to share stories and build long-term sisterhood and mutual support.
Advocacy and Outreach
Women are trained to advocate for themselves in family, legal, and community settings, and to participate in civic leadership and outreach.
Culturally Grounded, Community-Centered
Every aspect of the program is designed with cultural sensitivity, confidentiality, and respect. COPO is a safe, judgment-free space where women are supported without compromising their values, faith, or identity.
