Partnerships for Trauma Recovery

Partnerships for Trauma Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to healing trauma among international survivors of human rights abuses including war, torture, forced displacement, human trafficking, gender-based violence and persecution due to identity, sexual orientation and beliefs. We draw on synergies among the core components of our model to: (a) Provide culturally aware, trauma-informed and linguistically accessible mental health care for refugees, asylees, asylum seekers and human trafficking survivors, (b) Expand clinical capacity to serve these populations, and (c) Advocate for policies to prevent trauma and re-traumatization.
