Partners in Trauma Healing (PATH) creates a network of rehabilitation professionals who provide intellectual and emotional support for the difficult work of providing healing services to torture survivors. PATH will work with ten centers focusing on three areas: mental health treatment and healing, monitoring and evaluation, and organizational development.

To support the mental health treatment and healing of survivors, the PATH project will place an experienced psychologist in each center to provide long-term training and mentoring.

Monitoring and evaluation is an integral component for centers to document torture and provide effective services. The PATH project will help each center develop a detailed process for collecting and evaluating data and will provide expert consultations and trainings.

An organizational development trainer will work with PATH partner centers to develop sustainable strategies, enhance management practices and build fundraising skills.

PATH will work with ten independent foreign torture survivor rehabilitation centers over five years. Centers will apply to be a partner in this intensive hands-on mental health and organizational training project. CVT expects to focus on centers located in communities where torture survivors live in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Partners in Trauma Healing is made possible through the financial support of the United States Agency for International Development and the American peoples’ support.
