Mission Statement:
The Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture provides comprehensive medical and mental health care, as well as social and legal services to survivors of torture and war traumas and their family members. In the past year alone we provided these multidisciplinary services to
more than 600 people from 70 countries.
Since its inception in 1995, the Program has developed an international reputation for excellence in our clinical, educational and research activities. Our mission is to assist individuals and families subjected to torture and war trauma to re-build health, self-sufficient lives and to
contribute knowledge and testimony to global efforts to end torture.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
The Program for Survivors of Torture envisions a world where victims of torture and other human rights abuses are able to receive the compassionate, comprehensive care and support needed to rebuild healthy and self-sufficient lives.
Program History:
The Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture (PSOT) was established in 1995 by medical and mental health professionals at Bellevue Hospital as the first program to address the complex needs of torture survivors.
We are the only comprehensive torture treatment center in the New York City area, providing medical and mental health care, as well as social and legal services to survivors of torture and war traumas and their family members.
PSOT is the only program in the nation that has developed and implemented treatment services for Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender (LGBT) survivors of torture, addressing the particular challenging intersection of immigration issues, persecution, trauma, and sexual identity.
Events:
Annual fundraising gala in October; periodic fundraising events throughout the year.
