To contribute to the realization of NICE’s vision of ensuring that refugees and immigrants achieve their full potential now and for generations to come, the goal of the Nashville International Center for Empowerment’s Health Program is to assist refugees and immigrants overcome barriers that may hinder their progress to successful integration into the American society as they find home in the middle Tennessee area. Through our Intensive Case Management (ICM) Program, we strive to ensure provision of culturally and linguistically competent services in the following areas: Medical/mental health services, medical coverage, employment, access to assistance services, social adjustment, and knowledge of the US system and culture, among other services. Our clients include elderly refugees, single heads of households, refugees with physical disabilities, survivors of torture, youth and young adults, and refugees experiencing psychological difficulties resulting from wars.
