Our Answer: I Don't Enjoy Anything Anymore - How Do I Start Living Again?

This “Ask Anything” session is a part of the Polish American Association’s community health program, created to talk openly and honestly about real-life challenges many people face - especially within immigrant communities.

Together with Aleksandra Papiez Zubek, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), PhD Candidate, and Mina Gerall, Community Health Program Liaison, we explore common topics like loneliness, stress, emotional burnout, and the difficulty of building connections in a new country.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to start – or how to keep going - this conversation is for you.

You are not alone.

Watch the full session and be part of the conversation.

On Wednesday, May 20, PAA launched its Summer Series with a community forum on Caring for Our Aging Parents. Many of us will face this responsibility, but few feel fully prepared to navigate it with confidence and care.
We’re grateful to Dr. Kenneth Fils for his thoughtful guidance on cognitive changes, daily routines, and managing guilt and frustration. Thank you also to Bo Wazydrag and Renata Jasniuk for sharing practical advice on supporting seniors at home, and to all our guests for bringing such important questions and perspectives to the conversation.
If you still have questions or concerns, please feel free to Ask Anything!
