Where Hope Grows
Center for Survivors of Torture exists to facilitate healing, ease transition into new beginnings, and foster hope in survivors of torture, by providing specialized services addressing their comprehensive psychological, medical, and social needs; generating legal referrals; providing training opportunities for state-of-the-art professional service delivery; and collecting outcome measurements.
Since 1997, we have provided comprehensive services to more than 8,400 survivors and family members in an effort to restore their spirits and rebuild their lives. CST clients have been debilitated by torture and trauma, but with treatment from CST’s trained, licensed professionals, survivors can overcome the devastating effects of torture and trauma to live healthy, productive lives. While our clients have often endured the unimaginable, we are constantly amazed by the capacity of the human spirit to heal, forgive and seek happiness
