Program for Torture Victims
Mental Health CareCalifornia, United States11-50 Employees
Based in Los Angeles, California, the Program for Torture Victims (PTV) operates as a mental health care nonprofit focused on torture rehabilitation. It has operated for more than three decades as the United States' first center dedicated to helping survivors of state-sponsored torture and persecution heal and rebuild their lives. The organization serves new U.S. immigrants from more than 70 countries, assisting them as they recover from physical and psychological wounds and establish a new life in California. PTV provides more than clinical care by addressing basic needs such as transportation, food, housing, clothing, and language classes, and it supports clients as they integrate into American culture. It also works to reunite families and help survivors resume roles as parents and spouses while guiding them through the complex U.S. asylum process. In addition, the program documents instances of torture and persecution for reporting to the United Nations, the United States, and international human rights organizations, and it offers expert medical and psychological testimony in U.S. and international courts to support accountability.
