National Capacity-Building Project

Participants in the National Capacity Building project are eligible to nominate staff members for the annual blended learning course, Fundamentals of Providing Services to Torture Survivors. Originally piloted in January-February 2010, the course has been offered again in summer of 2010, January-February 2011, and January-February 2012. In 2013, the course is being offered twice, once in January-February, and once in April-June. If you are interested in participating in a future iteration of the course, or wish to nominate a participant, look for the announcement on the listserv or email healtorture@cvt.org.

From July through September 2011, NCB conducted interviews with the mentors as part of the evaluation of the Fundamentals of Providing Services to Torture Survivors course. The goal of the evaluation was to assess the extent to which course participants had applied the course in their practice. The evaluation is attached here.
