Provider Resources
Providers of service to survivors of torture may work in the legal, mental health, medical, or social service fields.
There are also people working in the operation of organizations serving torture survivors.
Please review the resources at the left-hand side of this page to learn more about these areas.
If you are a new employee in a program serving torture survivors, please review the resources in your area and then also read Healing the Hurt. Also take time to review the Webinars and the Video.
We encourage people who are serving survivors of torture to submit resources to this website.
If you have a resource you would like to submit to HealTorture.org, please send an email to HealTorture@cvt.org.
There is a private listserv available to people serving torture survivors. It is available to all staff working in programs for torture survivors who are either ORR Torture Survivor Program grantees, members of the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs (NCTTP), or ORR/TVRA staff. If you would like to join the listserv, please send an email to HealTorture@cvt.org.
