Announcing Family Support Program

We care about our students and students’ families! We are in the same community. Do you know someone who has difficulties navigating the healthcare system such as Medicare, MediCal, CalOptima, or even is uninsured? Someone facing some type of mental health challenges, someone who can use the help from a support group? A family member or friend of yours can benefit from a free citizenship service? The list of examples goes on.

South Coast Chinese Cultural Center has launched a new Family Support Program (FSP) to help Chinese families make progress on various life challenges in the post-pandemic time. Due to the language and cultural barriers, Chinese American families may have limited access to family support resources. Oftentimes the community also lacks social services on issues related to  immigration and health care.

By collaborating with fellow service partners, SCCCC can assist our community to gain access to the related  information and support. SCCCC will provide a safe and welcoming setting to the community members in need. 

We work with fellow service partners to assist the Chinese community to obtain information, referral and support in the following areas:

• Mental health/substance abuse referral
• Marriage Challenges
• Parent/child’s positive coping skills when facing stressful situations 
• Immigration/legal assistance
• Food Bank
• Transportation
• Support Groups
• Senior Health and Benefits Information
• Covered California and other insurance help

健康的個人造就健全的社區！南海岸中華文化中心推出一個全新的家庭服務項目 (Family Support Program, FSP) ，協助華人家庭解決在後疫情時代所面臨的各種生活挑戰。

我們關心學生，也同樣關心學生的家庭，我們同在一個群體！您知道有人在醫療保健系統（如 Medicare、MediCal、CalOptima）中摸索而遇到困難，甚至沒有保險嗎？您認識的人當中，有人面臨某種精神健康的困境，或者有人需要得到支持/互助團體的幫助嗎？ 您的家人或朋友可以從免費的公民入籍服務中受益嗎？

以上只是幾個例子，説明在語言和文化隔閡下，華人群體能獲得的家庭支持資源可能相對不足；另外，也可能缺少在移民和健康等方面的社會服務。文化中心將擔任橋樑的角色，提供安全而友好的環境，將有需求的社區人士連結到與我們合作的服務夥伴，從而得到在以下方面的相關信息、轉介或跟進協助。

服務內容：

• 心理健康/藥物或其他成癮
• 婚姻問題
• 親子關係
• 移民法律
• 人際關係困難
• 食物銀行
• 提供交通
• 互助團體
• 年長者健康和福利信息
• 加州保險登記或其他保險協助
