Affirmations for Mental Health Awareness Month 💚🧠💙

Healing from trauma goes far beyond physical safety—it includes mental and emotional wellness, too.

Survivors of human rights abuses often carry invisible wounds like trauma, anxiety, and depression. That’s why Mosaic's services are trauma-informed with mental health support at the core of what we do. Because everyone deserves to feel whole, heard, and hopeful.

On hard days, it’s easy to forget to take care of your mental health. Here are some positive affirmations for those moments when life feels overwhelming. Whether you’re a survivor or supporting one, we hope these gentle reminders bring a sense of peace and empowerment. 💚💙

An update from Mirjana Omeragic, Acting Executive Director:

The past few months have tested Mosaic Family Services in ways we’ve never experienced before. In February, we shared the heartbreaking news that a federal funding freeze forced us to drastically scale back our refugee programs and furlough dedicated staff, many of whom share similar lived experiences to those of the families they serve.

Today, we’re relieved and thankful to share a sliver of hope: the funding has been released, and we’ve welcomed back our furloughed team members.

While we celebrate this moment of gratitude, we’re also staring down at a fast-approaching threat. In just five months, a new federal rule could unravel the very progress we’ve fought so hard to regain, putting vital refugee services and the futures of countless families at risk once again.

Here’s where things stand and how you can help:

What’s Been Restored

The funding freeze was lifted at the end of March, and Mosaic received overdue reimbursements that had not been paid. Furloughed staff have returned to work and continue serving newly arrived neighbors.

What’s at Risk

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has issued a new policy which states that starting in October 2025, replacement designees such as the Texas Office for Refugees (TXOR) will no longer be allowed to administer or distribute federal refugee funds to nonprofits. Instead, these funds must be accepted and managed by a state agency.

TXOR was formed in 2017 as a workaround to distribute federal funds for refugee programs to organizations like Mosaic, following Texas's withdrawal from federal refugee support programs. We anticipate that Texas will continue to uphold its current position, which would effectively end the program unless the state decides to reverse its course. Without a policy change, Mosaic's Refugee programs will no longer be funded.

Additionally, federal grants and protections that keep our doors open for trafficking and domestic violence survivors are in jeopardy.

What Mosaic Is Doing

Advocacy: Mosaic's staff is meeting with federal, state, and local legislators, asking them to push for a solution that keeps community‑based providers eligible for federal support and protects vital funding for life-saving programs.

Emergency Planning: Mosaic's leadership is drafting a transition plan to ensure refugees and survivors in need will have the resources and tools to access life-saving services if Mosaic’s programs are forced to close or scale back due to funding cuts.

Diversifying Funding: We’re pursuing new philanthropic partnerships to replace lost federal dollars.

How you can help today:

Donate: Right now, survivors and refugees are terrified and unsure what their future holds - give to Mosaic to fuel safety and compassion. Your gift, no matter the amount, will help keep the door open for families in desperate need.

Contact Your Representative: Advocacy was key to releasing the frozen funds and restoring services to over 100,000 refugees throughout the state. Please, continue to use your voice to urge your representatives to protect funding for life-saving programs.

Please know, your generosity, kind messages, and tireless advocacy not only carried Mosaic through the uncertainty, but also sent a powerful message: refugees and survivors deserve safety and dignity.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,
Mirjana Omeragic
Acting Executive Director

❤️ Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People. ❤️

According to the National Institute of Justice, 4 out of 5 American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime, and more than half have experienced sexual violence.

This ongoing crisis is deeply rooted in systemic injustice, racism, and the lasting impacts of colonization, making Indigenous people especially vulnerable to violent crimes like domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

Today, we honor the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People who have been left out of the mainstream narratives on exploitation, trafficking, and gender based violence. We stand with Indigenous survivors and their families, whose voices have been silenced for too long, and we call for visibility, justice, and healing.

We love celebrating different cultures!

During our quarterly all-staff meeting, staff members from Iraq shared a rich and inspiring presentation about their culture and history. From language and architecture to music, food, and traditions, this was a wonderful opportunity for the whole staff to learn more about Iraqi heritage and their rich culture.

A very special shoutout to Dhefar, Iman, Frishta, and Ghazwan for presenting and treating everyone to delicious homemade Iraqi food!

Every year on , people across the world wear denim to stand in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault and bring awareness to victim blaming.

Denim Day began in 1999 after a sexual assault trial where the survivor was blamed by the court for her assault because she wore tight jeans. This ruling demonstrates a dangerous attitude and understanding of sexual violence and places the blame on the victim rather than the abuser.

Wear your jeans with pride today as you stand with survivors!

Child abuse and domestic violence often go hand in hand.

In homes where domestic violence is present, children are at significantly higher risk of being abused themselves. Even when they aren’t experiencing violence directly, witnessing violence in the family can have a severe emotional and psychological impact. The home should be a place of safety — but for too many children, it’s where the trauma begins.

One of the ways Mosaic serves children who have experienced or witnessed abuse is through our clinical counseling program, where we offer specialized play and expressive art therapy for children.

Check out our blog post written by Mosaic’s Clinical Director, Amy A. Watson, MS, LPC-S, to learn about the importance of early intervention to help victims heal and become survivors and thrivers. Read more at the link in our bio.

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month!

When volunteers serve with Mosaic, they give so much more than just their time. Volunteers might not realize it, but their seemingly simple gifts of time and effort speak volumes to the shelter residents and create a lasting impact for survivors. A simple passing smile gives residents hope and brings laughter and joy to their lives.

To each and every person who has given their time to Mosaic: thank you for your generosity, kindness, and unwavering support. Your willingness to step up and make a difference embodies the spirit of volunteerism and partnership. It is a shining example of the power of collective action to drive positive change.

Happy Songkran!
