“Desde que vine a Centro Bienestar yo he aprendido mucho de mi desorden y como manejarlo, y tengo mas esperanza aqui en los Estados Unidos que me van a ayudar con mi caso de asilo ya que me han dado el permiso de trabajo y mi numero de social security. He aprendido a esperanzarme en mi mismo y mis habilidades. Gracias a ellos que los ayudaron con dinero para que yo podría recibir estos servicios. Y gracias a Americares por mandarme a Ustedes. Estoy muy agradecido.” ~ Franklin, 28

Since coming to The Center for Wellbeing-Centro Bienestar I have learned a lot about my mental illness and how to manage it and I have a lot more hope that the United States will help me with my request for asylum, now that I have received permission to work and my social security number. I have learned to believe in myself and my abilities. Thanks to The Center for Wellbeing-Centro Bienestar for helping me pay so that I could receive my therapy. And a big thanks to Americares for sending me to you. I am so grateful.
"En mi yo veo que pase por muchas cosas en mi vida. Llegando donde Uds. yo no queria que nadie me molestara y sentia que mi vida no valia nada. Gracias a Ud. me senti importante de nuevo y logre regresar a la persona de antes. Volvi a dedicarme a mis hijos. Empece a trabajar. Sali de mi depresion. Para mi la terapia fue muy buena y ahora trato de animar a los demas que han sufrido como yo que deben buscar terapia." ~ Maria, 40

I’ve learned that I have been through a lot in my life. When I came to The Center for Wellbeing-Centro Bienestar, I didn’t want anyone to bother me and I felt that my life wasn’t worth anything. Thanks to you I have learned to feel new and important and I was able to return to who I originally was. I rededicated myself to my children. I began a new job. I came out of my depression. For me, therapy was really good and now I try to motivate others who are suffering like I was to find therapy.
