HIAS and AsylumWorks have designed an integrated model that serves refugees, asylum-seekers, asylees, SIVs, immigrants, and other vulnerable populations who survived state-sponsored torture in their countries of origin. Our agencies have joined together to form the Capital Area Healing Coalition to support integrating our engagement, assessment, planning, monitoring, evaluation, and advocacy throughout the greater D.C. area. HIAS is leading and managing the Coalition and providing SOTs with legal services. AsylumWorks provides trauma-informed clinical case management services, employment assistance, and community support.  AsylumWorks also provides training and technical assistance for SOT service providers and other helping professionals. Prospective clients should visit the “Become a Client” page on AsylumWorks’ website to add their name to the waitlist, which is available in English, Spanish, French, Amharic, Pashto, and Persian/Dari. Given high demand for services, AsylumWorks closes its waitlist periodically to ensure existing clients are served promptly. If the waitlist is closed, clients should check back again on the first of each month.

The Captial Area Healing Coalition is not a member of the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs.
