MOSAIC FAMILY SERVICES IS A SAFE HAVEN FOR

SURVIVORS OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, INCLUDING

REFUGEES AND SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

Dear Friends,

This year, Mosaic Family Services celebrates 25 years as a safe haven for survivors

of human rights abuses. Throughout the years, our dedication to providing comprehensive social services and educational programs specialized for refugee and immigrant communities remains unchanged.

In the last year, we directly served nearly 10,000 individuals and families fleeing from violence, and provided outreach to 15,000 additional members of our community. We reached survivors from 53 countries, invested in lasting partnerships, and empowered people to become self-sufficient.

Now more than ever, this critical work would not be possible without the support

of our community. With your support, we will continue this legacy of care.

Warmest Regards,

Walter H. Nguyen, Ph.D. Executive Director

The mission of Mosaic Family Services is to support, educate, and empower the individuals and families of the multicultural communities in

North Texas. For 25 years, we have impacted thousands of lives and empowered survivors of human rights abuses to become self-sufficient by

creating access to opportunities.

OUR CLIENTS’ NEEDS ARE MET IN ONE SAFE PLACE:

CASE MANAGEMENT

SHELTER LEGAL SERVICES

COUNSELING COMMUNITY EDUCATION

With a beautiful residential space, large outdoor porch and play area, children’s play room, multipurpose room and library, counseling and play therapy rooms, tranquility garden, and resource room, our clients have everything they need to feel safe and empowered. Not only do residents receive the basic necessities including food, clothing, hygiene items, and medical care, they gain independence through on-site ESL classes, job and life skills training, counseling, and parenting courses. Children at the shelter receive help with school enrollment, immunizations, life skills, health care, tutoring, and much more.

335 Women and children fled domestic violence or human trafficking and sought safety at Mosaic House

132 Children received advocacy services

Mosaic House provided 37,376 meals and 14,888 emergency nights of shelter

Mosaic creates access to opportunities for our clients, empowering them toward independence.

Our wrap around services are held together with comprehensive case management. Every new client is assigned a case manager to identify their needs and help access resources, functioning as interpreters and advocates. Client advocacy gives survivors the tools they need to become self-sufficient.

543 victims of crime and their families received advocacy and case management, including 107 survivors of human trafficking

Our diverse staff speak more than 25 languages, enabling us to provide comprehensive and culturally competent services.

We helped 890 refugees access healthcare and navigate the healthcare system to improve their long term health.

The Multicultural Legal Services Department provides free family and immigration law services to survivors of human rights abuses.

Mosaic attorneys provide legal consultations and represent survivors in divorce, custody, child support, and protective order hearings. Many survivors also need immigration assistance, especially if their legal immigration status depends upon an ongoing relationship with their abusive partner.

538 Individuals and their families received legal assistance

A study by researchers from Colgate University found that, while legal representation is the service to which fewest survivors have access, it is also the only service that is predictive of a decline in

intimate partner violence.

460 Refugees received assistance with citizenship or permanent residency applications

Bilingual counselors utilize the Multicultural Counseling Model as well as play and art therapy to assist refugees, immigrants, and survivors of family violence and human trafficking in overcoming trauma and improving their emotional well-being.

334 Survivors found hope and healing through counseling

In play therapy, children are encouraged to express their feelings and to communicate in a nurturing, safe, and empowering environment.

In addition to providing direct services to survivors, our team conducts outreach to build healthier, stronger families and communities and help stop human rights abuses in North Texas and beyond.

Our participation as an active member of local, regional, and national coalitions, task forces, and networks helps us build strong partnerships and inform policies intended to fight violence against women and human trafficking.

2,579 Professionals were trained on the issue of human trafficking and assisted with trafficking prevention resources

3,836 Individuals were reached through anti-trafficking outreach

12,670 Outreach materials were distributed across North Texas

The Multicultural Youth Substance Abuse Prevention program (MYSAP) seeks to prevent substance abuse by building positive attitudes, values, behaviors, and skills for at-risk refugee and immigrant youth.

Through our substance abuse prevention curriculum/work, we target the physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral development of children.

5,765 Students and their families received life skills training and education on substance abuse prevention

Our services include: • Life skills education classes • Presentations for youth and adult community members • Community educational programs • Community outreach

The Church of the Incarnation chose Mosaic House for their parish-wide service event on April 1, 2017. Projects included: • Creating a playroom for the kids from a

storage room • Building a pergola, Geodome, picnic

tables, playhouses, and bike racks • Trimming bushes and planting flowers • Painting all common rooms • Decorating all bedrooms, common

rooms, and staff bathroom • Improving storage in the office, attic,

with food donations • AND Residents were taken on field trip

to the Perot Museum during the renovations!

This year, the GCS Mom’s League, FLITE to Freedom, and the South Asian Bar

Association (SABA) each raised funds for Mosaic’s vital programs.

Thank you for making our work possible!

The LADV committee recruited volunteers to

resurface the children’s basketball court and spend

more than a weekend building the playground set

from the ground up. Upon the completion of the

playground renovations, the committee dedicated the

playground to an FBI agent and DOL agent who have

contributed greatly to help domestic violence victims.

Thank you for this amazing gift to the children we

serve!

This year, the Lawyers Against Domestic Violence (LADV) committee of the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers adopted Mosaic House.
