Project description:
In Jordan, RCT cooperates with IFH to increase the treatment
options available to Iraqi (and other nationalities) victims of
torture and organised violence (TOV) and their families. RCT
provides training and supervision to IFH staff to support them to
function as a specialised treatment centre for the rehabilitation
of Iraqi victims of TOV (and others, as appropriate). The IFH staff
is trained in specialised and inter-disciplinary rehabilitation
service provision. Finally, the project is also committed to
increasing knowledge of the consequences and treatment of torture
and trauma among the Iraqi groups as well as in the Jordanian
society.
