Members of our Beaverton team were excited to participate in a community Marhaba event (meaning "hello" in Arabic) last Saturday. Thanks to our partners at Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, they were able to celebrate in this special way. Our team engaged attendees in conversations around emotional well-being, shared information about our mental health and community-based programs, and promoted available resources.

This week marks three years since Russia invaded Ukraine. LCSNW's many Ukrainian staff and clients will never forget. Tetiana (wearing brown stocking hat) is a mental health group facilitator for us, and she attended an anniversary gathering Monday in 's Pioneer Courthouse Square. "The war has taken so much - lives, homes, and the sense of normalcy - but it has not taken away our spirit," Tetiana reflected.

A federal judge ruled in our favor Tuesday. And while the fight is not over, we are hopeful for a restoration of refugee resettlement in the U.S. That means our communities and our economy will benefit from people like Jean Paul in Portland. https://www.kptv.com/video/2025/02/25/northwest-refugee-nonprofit-suing-trump-administration/ #
