According to the 2010 census, 3,308 of Connecticut’s residents identified as Cambodian. Subsequently, Connecticut ranks as the sixteenth highest state in regard to Cambodian population. However, our state offers close to nothing in terms of support for those who were affected by the Khmer Rouge during the Cambodian Genocide which was only thirty years ago. This lack of support is detrimental to those who need counseling, especially after witnessing such traumatic events. This petition is being erected in order to get the state government involved in offering free counseling and support groups to those of Cambodian decent.

so many suffering in silence. please provide the funding for these support groups.
Trauma like that doesnt just go away on its own. They need real help so i hope the state steps up.
This is the right thing to do. Many of these families have been through things most people cant even imagine.
My neighbors are the kindest people and they deserve better than this. It is time we help them heal.
Why hasnt this been done already?? absolute disgrace.
