The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is accepting applications for federal fiscal year (FY) 2022 Technical Assistance to the Survivors of Torture (TA SOT) Cooperative Agreement.
Purpose

- Develop, adapt, and disseminate evidence-based practices and interventions designed to promote healing for survivors of torture and their families so that they can attend to their health, build effective support networks, and contribute to their communities.
- Create and maintain structures and systems to facilitate shared learning and collaborative research within the Network including DS SOT recipients and partner organizations.
- Provide training and technical assistance to the Network in effectively implementing and evaluating evidence-based practices and individual and family interventions for healing torture and trauma.
