Program For Torture Victims

Case Management Service:PTV coordinates with pro-bono professionals and community resources to assist and respond to our clients' basic and emergency needs, providing clients with tools and resources necessary to thrive. PTV coordinates resources to help assist clients with clothing, food, emergency financial needs, transportation, housing, legal services, social benefits enrollment, and workforce development and job placement. Case Managers provide intensive and moderate case management of client basic and legal needs throughout the duration of asylum journey. PTV provides an on-site food bank, grocery gift cards, bus tokens, housing assistance, emergency shelter, transitional housing, and job training.

Medical Care:Most survivors of torture who are new to the U.S. are not eligible for government or workplace health coverage in their first year of residency. Many require immediate medical care due to injuries caused by human rights abuse or due to untreated chronic conditions. PTV provides free and immediate outpatient medical care at our Human Rights Clinic located in partnership with Eisner Health, including referrals to medical specialists in the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and gynecology, all at no cost to the clients. Emergency or trauma-related dental care is available through our partnerships with federally qualified healthcare providers.
