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.
