Mission Statement
Center for Survivors of Torture (CST) exists to facilitate healing, ease transition into new beginnings, and foster hope in survivors of trauma, by providing specialized services addressing their comprehensive psychological, medical, and social needs; generating legal referrals; providing training opportunities for state-of-the-art professional service.
About This Cause
CST provides free counseling, medical, and social services to people who have had to flee their countries because of torture. The effects of torture can last a lifetime, if untreated. Survivors often suffer multiple disabling conditions that interfere with the most basic functions of daily life. For twenty-three years, CST has given hope to 9,000 refugees by providing counseling, easy access to community college education and certificate programs, basic needs, medical care, and legal referrals. CST also provides wellness plans, literacy training, medical reports, and weekly healing activities such as art classes and yoga. Our services offered in multiple cities across TX including, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Fort Worth. Our program really works. 82% of clients meet their goals within six months. CST has a proven track record of assisting torture survivors in becoming independent, building confidence improving clients' connection to their Texas communities. Clients under CST's care have reduced the occurrence of serious health problems and their need for emergency medical care. CST clients move on to graduate from law school, divinity school, continuing education certificate programs; they buy homes, raise healthy children who can now attend college and manage their own businesses. With CST’s help, survivors enjoy happier and productive lives. Our Values: Integrity, Compassion, Making a Difference.
