Program for Survivors of Torture
In 2015, The Center for Global Health & Healing expanded services to the community by starting the Program for Survivors of Torture (PSOT). For survivors and their families, PSOT offers interdisciplinary and integrative services to help address the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual impact that torture and trauma has on the person. PSOT also provides local training for clinicians, individuals, and agencies working with similar populations to help increase the community's understanding and overall capacity in serving families who have been affected by torture.
