The Center for Empowering Refugees and Immigrants (CERI) in Oakland, CA, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the healing, advocacy, and empowerment of refugee and immigrant communities affected by war, torture, genocide, and other traumatic experiences. Established in 2006, CERI supports individuals through culturally grounded services and intergenerational mental health care, transforming lives and building pathways to wellness and self-determination. Initially serving Cambodian genocide survivors, CERI has evolved into a community foundation that celebrates the diverse backgrounds of Southeast Asian immigrants and refugees, including those from Vietnamese, Laotian, Burmese, Afghan, Tibetan, Nepali, Rwandan, Iranian, Eritrean, and Indonesian communities. By emphasizing collective empowerment, CERI inspires community members to lead systemic change while providing solidarity and support to over 1,200 individuals annually. Generated from the website
