Survivors of Abuse in Recovery

What Survivors of Abuse in Recovery does

Survivors of Abuse in Recovery, Inc. (SOAR) is a Delaware-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1992 that provides outpatient mental health services to survivors of sexual trauma and abuse. The organization is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, with additional offices in Dover and Georgetown, and serves more than 2,000 adults, adolescents, children, and family members annually across Delaware and adjacent counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. SOAR is described as the only treatment agency of its kind in the Mid-Atlantic region. Its service portfolio includes individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy (structured around a tri-phasic trauma model covering safety/stabilization, trauma processing, and reconnection), child and adolescent services, prison-based therapy, and support groups for non-offending partners and family members. Clinical staff are trained in evidence-based modalities including EMDR, CBT, DBT, Polyvagal Theory, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), with the team led by Executive Director Dr. Maya Khalid-Janney Psy.D.

SOAR's business model is a hybrid of fee-for-service insurance reimbursement and charitable donations. The organization accepts most major health insurance plans for therapy services and provides subsidies on a sliding scale for uninsured or low-income clients, with approximately 70% of its 2,000+ clients unable to afford part or all of treatment. Donations are solicited through tiered giving ($50 to fund one teenager in group therapy, $150 for one family admission), event sponsorships ranging from $250 to $10,000, and online giving. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors with representatives from financial services, legal, and public-sector institutions, and outreach efforts extend to city council members, state legislators, and partner organizations such as RAINN. Go-to-market is driven primarily through website content, social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), resources and educational content, and word-of-mouth referrals, with intake routed via phone (302-655-3953 x1) and email ([email protected]). Current wait time averages approximately two months, indicating demand that exceeds current clinical capacity.
