Since the recent expansion of Medi-Cal in California, SURVIVORS has become a trusted messenger for education and enrollment services. In partnership with Family Health Centers of San Diego we have begun regular in-house workshops for clients to learn how to gain access to free, wholistic healthcare services. 

Attendance is growing and we believe that these workshops will become a center piece of our client services. With our thorough knowledge of the survivor community we are the best voices to ensure all gaps to healthcare access are bridged.  

SURVIVORS is thrilled to share our third "Beyond Borders" Book Club selection, Rivermouth by Alejandra Oliva.  Added bonus: In late May, Oliva will be joining us virtually for an exclusive book discussion and Q+A session about her time as an interpreter for asylum cases at the border.  Additional details to follow!

SURVIVORS' staff traveled to Washington D.C. to participate in the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs (NCTTP) 2024 Annual Meeting and 16th Annual Research Symposium.

We are privileged to attend this event every year. This year's programming was a fantastic illustration of the field of work and the hardworking people forwarding progress for survivors of torture around the nation.

Here's how your gift can make a difference:

Career Aspirations: Whether it's textbooks for a medical career, a sewing machine, or essential school supplies, you're providing the tools for success.

Bedding and Home Essentials: A comfortable home environment is crucial for healing and rebuilding. Your contributions towards bedding and home essentials create a safe and cozy space for our clients to start anew.

Hygiene Products: Hygiene is a fundamental aspect of self-care and well-being. Your support in providing hygiene products preserves the dignity of our clients and off-sets prohibitive costs.

Baby Supplies: For clients with young ones, your donations of baby supplies (diapers, wipes, strollers, etc.) will nurture young families.

Over the last year, the number of individuals supported by SURVIVORS has nearly doubled, and in the last six months, we've experienced a 90% increase in referrals for forensic evaluation services. Help us meet the critical therapy and evaluation needs of our clients by providing services as a contractor.
