Over the years, Sojourner Center has provided shelter and support services to tens of thousands of women and children affected by domestic violence.
Sojourner’s empowerment programs are designed to help survivors move beyond immediate survival toward greater stability, independence, and hope for the future.
Sojourner’s commitment to empowerment aligns with the “docere” principle of naturopathic medicine, which emphasizes the physician’s role as a teacher. Through health education, naturopathic physicians and student clinicians help patients make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.
Sonoran University of Health Sciences has provided care in partnership with Sojourner Center for more than two decades. Through this collaboration, Sonoran has supported survivors of domestic violence while offering students meaningful experiences in compassionate, community-based care. Our services include lab testing, wellness exams, non-opioid pain relief, prescription medications, and supplements.
Patients are seen for a wide array of issues ranging from depression, insomnia and anxiety to routine concerns like colds, flus and back pain. With this training, they focus on the challenges that come with trauma from domestic violence.
Student clinicians employ the full scope of naturopathic modalities, including nutritional counseling, lifestyle counseling, acupuncture, homeopathy, supplementation and botanical medicine to address emotional recovery and self-sustainability. Sonoran University offers free supplements and prescriptions to patients treated in the clinic.
