The Thiru Family Trust Momentum Maker Grant (Momentum Maker) was created to inspire new paths to mental health and well-being in Arizona. Addressing the loneliness epidemic that affects one-in-two adults in America is our focus for 2024. By strengthening social connection, we can reduce and even reverse the negative impact loneliness has on mental and physical health.
The Aliento Education Fund’s Cultiva Program project was awarded the 2024 Momentum Maker grant. The project addresses the unique stressors that exacerbate isolation and loneliness among immigrant youth and mixed immigration families.
Through the Cultiva Program, people have multiple ways to connect with others who have similar lived experiences. By building connection, the program reduces the loneliness and sense of isolation common among people who have immigrated to the U.S.
Like so many people, I have had experiences that impacted my mental and physical health. Providing resources to improve mental health in our communities is an honor for our family, and a meaningful way to give back.
