Health & Wellness

The “Wellness Toolkits” are a set of evidence-based resources designed to help people improve their overall health and well-being. Because everyone has unique bodies, lifestyles, and circumstances, therefore there’s no one-size-fits-all “perfect health.” Instead, these toolkits let individuals choose which areas of health they want to focus on. The resources are available in English and Spanish.

The “Community Resources” page gathers downloadable materials and tools aimed at two main audiences: community members (immigrants and their families) and advocates/organizations working with immigrants. It’s not a place to get direct individual legal representation — ILRC does not offer case-by-case legal services or consultations. Instead, if someone needs legal representation, the page offers national directories to locate trusted immigration legal service providers, know-your-rights cards & info, community safety tools, and educational guides on immigration.

Materials are organized by topic (e.g. DACA, deportation defense, education justice, health, advocacy) and by type (e.g. guide, article, infographic, video, webinar).
