Help Support Emotional Well-Being for Victims of Human Rights Abuses
Trauma recovery is possible. $50,000 provides 10 survivors of torture culturally reflective, trauma-informed, and linguistically accessible mental health care and case management essential for healing. By improving well-being, the ability to engage in daily activities, and a sense of safety, holistic treatment leads to thriving.
A torture survivor from the Middle East expressed, “[PTR is] a center that allows doubt and suffering that you have internally to go away, and helps you fit into society. Without their support, I don’t know if I would be here now . . . It helped me survive. It’s given me a second life, and the opportunity to be alive.”
