Rebuilding Lives
Minnesota is home to refugees and asylum seekers from every region of the world. Many experienced war, torture and politically-motivated violence. Visit us and see how we’re helping men and women from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East rebuild their lives after the devastation of war and torture.
2018 Healing Center Tours
Our St. Paul Healing Center tours are the best way to learn first hand how we help torture victims – refugees and asylum seekers – heal from the trauma of torture, war and political violence. You’ll learn directly from our psychotherapists, social workers and other staff about the sanctuary and healing we provide after the physical and psychological trauma of torture and war. All tours begin at 5pm and last one hour. Tours are intended for audiences age 16 and older. To RSVP for a tour, contact Laura de Rosier at 612-436-4820 or lderosier [at] cvt.org.
