Survivors International (part of the Division of Trauma Recovery Services at UCSF)

Survivors International provides free psychosocial and psychological support to adult survivors of persecution and torture who reside in San Francisco. Our team works at the intersection of human rights advocacy and mental health to help immigrant survivors of severe traumas feel as healthy and safe as possible. Our multilingual and multicultural team offers free psychotherapy and case management support.

We offer services in Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, and Hindi and, with the support of our trained interpreters, in many other languages, including Arabic, Russian, Cantonese, Mongolian, and Tigrinya.

We also provide free psychological evaluations for asylum cases.

The Division of Trauma Recovery Services encompasses five mental health programs — the Trauma Recovery Center (TRC), the TRC Technical Assistance Program, the Rape Treatment Center, the Child, and Adolescent Support Advocacy and Resource Center (CASARC), and Neuropsychology at Zuckerberg San Francisco General.

Trauma Recovery Center (TRC)

The TRC serves those who have experienced trauma, violence, and loss.

The TRC is made up of multidisciplinary mental health team members who provide evidence-based psychotherapy, clinical case management, assertive outreach, and psychiatric medication services to adult San Francisco residents who are recent victims of violent crime. It operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Tuesdays until 7 p.m.
