SayPro, in partnership with the United States Peace Corps, is delivering trauma-informed care to survivors of violence through safe, compassionate, and culturally sensitive programs. SayPro recognizes that survivors often suffer in silence, especially in low-resource settings, and aims to restore their dignity through professional support. Peace Corps volunteers work with SayPro to train healthcare providers, counselors, and social workers in trauma-informed approaches that prioritize safety, empowerment, and healing.
SayPro conducts community awareness campaigns to reduce stigma around trauma and mental health, encouraging survivors to seek support without fear. Peace Corps volunteers help SayPro organize healing circles, group therapy, and one-on-one sessions in local languages. SayPro also works with schools and shelters to ensure trauma-sensitive environments for children and women. These holistic efforts are reshaping how communities respond to violence, turning compassion into practical care.
SayPro’s trauma-informed care model addresses the psychological, emotional, and physical effects of trauma by integrating mental health with other social services. Peace Corps volunteers assist SayPro in creating customized recovery plans and referral pathways. SayPro emphasizes patient choice, cultural respect, and long-term support through community-based counseling centers and hotlines. These services ensure that survivors have ongoing access to care and support that helps rebuild their lives.
SayPro evaluates program success through survivor feedback, clinical outcomes, and participation rates. Peace Corps volunteers assist in data collection, helping SayPro refine services based on community needs. Through this initiative, SayPro is not just treating symptoms of trauma—it’s building resilience, promoting healing, and creating safer, more empathetic communities across the regions it serves.
