Dfw Refugee Outreach Services

In 2021 we saw the largest non-combatant evacuation airlift in U.S. history. A mass exodus of Afghans facing persecution took refuge in the U.S., with about 13,000 in Texas alone. DFWROS Services includes four primary areas of focus:

1. Workforce Development and Job Training Programs
2. Transition and Resettlement to American life.
3. Comprehensive support services to help achieve self-sufficiency
4. Education of adults and minors

There is an opportunity to expand services. The aim is to achieve financial independence and sustain the company’s programs. Under the current organizational plan, DFWROS intends to raise funds through federal and regional grants, corporate sponsors, and philanthropists. The company will primarily utilize these funds to invest in its existing and expanding programs.

The Plan is to develop measurable ways that the organization can help refugees resettle productively and successfully. DFWROS expanded its resettlement plan through an expansion of services to enact programs to help participants to learn specific ways to take care of themselves. The organization focuses on mitigating crises by utilizing a three-pronged approach:

Support Services and Resources

Support services specialize in linking participants with professionals, mentors, staff, or outside resources that work in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental, adjustment, and substance-related disorders. Biological, psychological, and social components of illnesses are explored and understood in treating the whole person. The services include evaluation and referrals to resources that can help with interpersonal problems with individuals and families and intervention for coping with stress, PTSD, and other problems. We partner with Metrocare Care (metrocareservices.org), the leading nonprofit dedicated to helping people with mental illness or developmental disabilities. We also partner with HHM Health(hhmhealth.org) to enroll refugees in benefits like SNAP, Medicaid, and Women’s health.

DFWROS has formed organizational and community partnerships. We plan to continue helping Refugees that are in dire need. The best way to empower them is to offer food, shelter, resources, skills, medical services, and emotional support. Whether our clients are struggling with mental illness, homelessness, transition difficulties from being a refugee, the tragedy of becoming a widow, or have fallen into desperate circumstances, our mentors and volunteers are there to provide a listening ear and a helping hand.

Our goal is to assist families and not turn any families away. These families left their country with just a pair of clothes on their backs, hoping for a bright future. At DFWROS, we are making sure that these refugee families achieve that.

At DFWROS, we not only provide mentorship but also feed the hungry with ongoing food programs, dispense care to those who have no resources, provide psychological support services, facilitate workshops that teach job development skills, and provide clothes for those who do not have adequate clothes. We work to the end, where refugees can thrive and contribute productively to American Society. Once a new family arrives, DFWROS assigns a mentor to the family. Mentoring a family requires listening patiently to their needs and concerns on a weekly basis. These mentors help families with many things, simple and complicated, that many take for granted, such as: how to communicate in English, how to gain access to skills, how to register children in schools, how to use simple household appliances, how to maintain hygiene, how and where to store food, how to cross the road, and so much more
