WHY CHOOSE SELFHELP
- Community and connection to preserve overall health and well-being.
- Access financial assistance, entitlements and benefits, local resources, and more.
- Expertise in compassionate, trauma-informed care to meet the needs of many aging communities, including those who are immigrants, formerly homeless, non-native English speakers, homebound or isolated, and the frail elderly.
- Combating social isolation through comprehensive social and health services so each person remains connected to their community
Aging Adults & Traumatic Event
Up to 90 percent of aging adults have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. This trauma creates new challenges as they age, including the re-emergence of repressed memories.
Person-Centered Trauma-Informed (PCTI)
Building upon our legacy of providing Person-Centered Trauma-Informed (PCTI) care to Holocaust survivors, we believe that each person deserves care that respects and values their own experiences and cultural traditions. With staff representing the diversity and languages of those we serve, we ensure that each person feels valued.

OUR PROGRAMS
Meet Ms. Lau – with her husband very ill and her worries mounting, Ms. Lau turned to Selfhelp.
It’s very important for my social worker to speak my language and understand my culture. And Selfhelp understands how important that is.
