Mission:
|
Our mission is to alleviate the suffering of those who have experienced the trauma of torture, to educate the local, national, and world community about the needs of torture survivors, and to advocate on their behalf. ASTT provides comprehensive, holistic services for survivors of torture and war trauma who live in the Baltimore-Washington region. We are dedicated to fostering a process of healing that enables survivors to rediscover their sense of hope for the future. According to the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement, there are 500,000 survivors of torture and war-related trauma now living in the United States. Of these, an estimated 40,000 live in the Washington/Baltimore area.
