Our Goal

We offer a comprehensive array of mental health and psychological services to a diverse and unique populations. Our goal is to help individuals and families overcome adversity and counteract the pain, inhumanity and degradation of the torture and trauma experienced at the hands of a government.

"Offering guidance, education, support and compassion is without a doubt one of the greatest gifts one can give to another. Perhaps by offering one person or one family the greatest gift, the world can become a better place."

Primary Objectives

  1. To work collaboratively for the enrichment of lives and the eradication of torture.
  2. To provide culturally responsive and holistic mental health services, education and support.
  3. To participate in research towards the development of project and treatment improvements.
  4. To train other professionals and volunteers in issues related to treatment of torture survivors.
