The Torture and Trauma Survivors Service of the Northern Territory is a rehabilitation centre for refugees and migrants now living in the Territory who were tortured in their country of origin or during the refugee journey.
Services are free and confidential.
Most common methods of torture have been beatings, beatings of family and friends in view of the victim, and mock executions. Training Training is aimed at providers who work with survivors of torture such as health workers, teachers, Migrant Resource Centres, and Community Refugee Support Scheme groups. Around ten training sessions are offered each year. This year's research programme has focused on identifying best practice ways of supporting parents. This is delivered through group orientation and individual sessions.
