Expanded details of program’s services

The SOT Program in Arizona uses a client-centered model and trauma-informed approach. The program strives to provide culturally and linguistically sensitive services through a multi-site team located in Phoenix and Tucson. Once eligibility is determined, each client is enrolled through an intake assessment and an outcome matrix with detailed questions that determine the client’s level of self-sufficiency. In addition, a service plan is developed to support the client in the four service areas: Social, Psychiatric/Psychological, Medical, and Legal. We also have other programs at IRC Arizona that serve victims of crime, victims of human trafficking, refugees, and asylum seekers.
