Operations
There are many important jobs that people perform to 'run' a program serving torture survivors. Often one person does more than one job.
We encourage people who are serving survivors of torture to submit resources to this website. Even if you don't see your area of expertise below, contact us to discuss how we can share the expertise you have. We can be contacted at HealTorture@cvt.org.

PowerPoint from the Webinar
Cultural Adjustment, Mental Health, and ESL: The Role of the Teacher
A very helpful resource that includes information on the connection between ESL and mental health. It is written for ESL teachers and, as it states in the book, “It is not meant to turn ESL providers into therapists or mental health specialists” but it suggests ESL activities to address mental health issues.
The Spring Institute has many other interesting and helpful publications as well, including Mental Health of Refugee Children and Refugee Children with Low Literacy Skills or Interrupted Education.
As a technical assistance provider through the Office of Refugee Resettlement, The Spring Institute is also available as a resource to answer questions on the information presented in this Webinar, language, and intercultural issues. They may be contacted at:
