The mission of THRIVE Center for Survivors of Torture is to promote the health and well-being of the world’s torture survivors. At the core of torture, the trust between two human beings is destroyed. Our services focus on restoring trust and helping a survivor rebuild emotional, physical, social, and spiritual bonds. Our work also aims to prevent the effects of intergenerational trauma.
THRIVE was founded in 2003 in response to the unmet needs of torture survivors in our community. Today, THRIVE is the only organization in Utah that specializes in serving torture survivors. To date, we have served over 4,000 individuals and we serve over 350 individuals each year: men, women, and children who have fled their homes because of torture and severe war trauma.
