The Place of Refuge is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that seeks to bring redemptive healing through faith-based trauma treatment and training focusing on urban populations and their caregivers.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • In 2024, 106 individuals and families received a combined 1,464 counseling appointments. Our counseling program primarily targets the multi-cultural, urban, working-class neighborhoods of North Philadelphia. While there are several faith-based, outpatient treatment programs in Southeastern PA, Refuge is the only faith-based counseling for adults in our region credentialed to accept Medicaid funds. At Refuge, a sensitive, pastoral counseling approach tailored to the urban context forms the basis of our intervention and these foundational principles are coupled with trauma-focused and evidence-based counseling techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and other traditional therapies are carefully integrated into each treatment plan. Our model of care was born in the Hispanic community and has been extended to African Americans, Caucasians and immigrant families living throughout our region. We treat diagnosed conditions such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, anger, and bipolar disorder. We consider it a privilege to carry out this work.
    Expenses $264,960 · revenue $184,696
  • In 2024, an estimated 302 individuals were served at PORs 12 outreach events. Beyond our counseling services, our grassroots community outreach efforts help improve public health by increasing mental health education and awareness at the local level. By hosting small groups, training workshops, information tables, and mental health screenings events, etc., we build strength and resilience within the community - meeting people where they are.
