CVT provides mental health counseling for survivors of Lord's Resistance Army atrocities in northern Uganda. CVT also provides both counseling and physiotherapy services to Iraqi and Syrian refugee torture and war trauma survivors and their families in two urban centers in Jordan, as well as in Nairobi, Kenya. In addition, professional clinicians recruit, hire, train and supervise refugee and national staff to be psychosocial counselors, physiotherapists, and social and outreach workers who work under the direction of the professional staff. CVT provides its mental and physical rehabilitation through small group and individual counseling and physiotherapy. Outreach and education is conducted through large group and community-wide sensitization events. CVT began operations in a third location in Kenya, refugee camps in Kakuma, in September 2017. CVT's primary donors for these activities are the US Department of State, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and the UN Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture.Through funding provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the ICC, and US Department of State, CVT assisted treatment centers and community based organizations in developing their mental health counseling skills in 9 countries in 2017. USAID funding also supported capacity building initiatives in organizational development and program evaluation and monitoring practices in six of those treatment centers. This assistance is provided through online training, in-person conferences and Skype consultation calls. 3428120 75527 2443224 Client ServicesCVT's Client Services program annually touches the lives of nearly 1,200 torture survivors and members of their families. The interdisciplinary care and treatment program involves the professions of medicine, psychiatry, psychology, social work, nursing, massage therapy and physical therapy in an integrated approach. Each year, 250-300 clients receive this intensive interdisciplinary care at the St. Paul clinic; others receive more limited services as family members or community members in need of specific information and referral elsewhere. Also, in 2017 CVT began offering a much smaller clinic in Atlanta, Georgia with psychotherapy and social services only, serving up to 75 clients per year.Volunteers help survivors who are ready to reconnect with the community by providing important services such as teaching survivors how to read a bus schedule and navigate public transportation, tutoring survivors in English, or accompanying survivors on visits to a museum, library, concert, coffee shop or grocery store. The St Cloud project provides community-based training, education, and outreach to the Somali refugee community on various behavioral health topics in the aftermath of war and torture trauma.The Healing Hearts program is a randomized control study exploring the efficacy of integrated CVT mental health services for traumatized Karen refugees in a primary care setting (HealthEast Roselawn clinic and UMN Family Physicians Bethesda). Care is also provided for family members of clients and through community-based interventions. Information and referral services provide referrals for torture survivors and others who cannot travel to CVT for care. Staff clinicians provide training and consultation to organizations and agencies that are points-of-first-contact for torture survivors in the community. 1129079 650 621959 Capacity BuildingThe National Capacity Building (NCB) Project works to strengthen 111 torture rehabilitation centers, and other organizations serving survivors of torture, across the United States to enhance and expand treatment to torture survivors. The long-term goals for the TA project are to: 1.) Increase the service capacity of direct services SOT grantees and other ORR-funded organizations serving torture survivors to provide effective, holistic services that promote healing and wholeness; 2.) promote integrated care for torture survivors by creating collaborative relationships among SOT grantees, mainstream health and behavioral healthcare agencies, and refugee service organizations; and, 3.) evaluate and strengthen the quality and sustainability of SOT grantees' services to torture survivors and their families. NCB's offerings include organizational needs assessments, remote and onsite consultations, webinars followed by topic-specific consultation groups, a Monitoring and Evaluation e-learning course, an e-learning course on the fundamentals of holistic care for torture survivors, logistical support for an annual research symposium in coordination with the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs, and the use of www.HealTorture.org as a repository of the state-of-the-science research on torture rehabilitation, as well as tools and trainings on evidence-based and promising practices in torture treatment.New Tactics operates globally, with a current particular focus in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Since 1999 human rights activists in the MENA region have participated CVT's New Tactics program through regional workshops, an international symposium, publications, and web-based discussions. New Tactics launched the MENA Initiative in 2009 to advance human rights efforts in the region. In 2017, New Tactics conducted 29 training activities for 381 human rights activists from 125 organizations. The New Tactics website was viewed a total of 302,147 times. New Tactics narrowed its definition of what qualifies as a New Tactics training and a New Tactics training participant. This was done as part of a larger effort to more closely monitor and evaluate training outcomes using standardized tools and procedures. 886658 21214 Public Policy/EducationCVT's public policy work seeks to prevent torture, ensure torturers are held accountable for their actions, and increase access to rehabilitation services and asylum protection for survivors of torture and war atrocities. CVT's policy approach leverages the combination of five voices: survivors, clinicians, human rights lawyers, operational/humanitarian aid providers, and foreign policy experts. CVT has established an effective presence with state, national and international policy makers. That presence gives voice to torture survivors and healing groups emerging in the United States and abroad, providing them access to tell their stories and find new allies and resources to support their work.In 2017, CVT advocated in support of federal financial resources to strengthen the capacity of torture survivor centers in the U.S. and around the world to extend care to survivors and to elevate the overall profile and prioritization of mental health services in humanitarian crises. CVT also continued to work toward resolving continuing problems created by the United States' embrace of torture and cruelty in post-9/11 counterterrorism operations, including in support of just and humane detention and interrogation policies, as well as accountability for acts of torture and cruelty. Finally, CVT offered its perspective to the U.S. immigration debate on particular issues in the U.S. asylum and detention systems that have an adverse impact on survivors of torture.ResearchCVT conducts ongoing program evaluation and research to describe its client population (demographic background, trauma and torture history, presenting diagnoses, symptoms, and complaints), patterns of service utilization, and responses to treatment. The research program focuses on developing a methodology that will allow CVT and other treatment centers serving torture survivors to document changes in physical, psychological and behavioral adaptation that are meaningful for a culturally diverse torture survivor population. Findings are disseminated through written and oral presentation in a variety of professional and media contacts. In 2017, research staff provided training and support for CVTs domestic services in St Paul and surrounding communities, Minnesota and Atlanta, Georgia. The department also supported the organization's services in Kenya, Ethiopia, Jordan, Iraq and Uganda. Research staff provided training and technical support relating to program evaluation to partner organizations in the US, as well as in Cambodia, Lebanon, Liberia, Philippines, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. 886658 21214 14508068 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 X 39 0 1 153 1 0 1 JO ET KE UG IZ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AR CA CT FL GA IL IN KS KY LA MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WI WV HI X X Wendy Marcano 6124364878 2356 University Ave W Suite 430 St Paul MN 551141860 Nancy J Feldman Vice Chair/Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 C Scott Cooper Past Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Senese Treasurer/Vice Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Karen Erickson Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Reedstrom Bishop Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Brunner Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Rabih Aridi Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Connie Magnuson Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Patti Andreini Arnold Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Kaiser Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Venetia Kudrle Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Maryam Elahi thru June 2017 Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Schwartz Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Valerie Spencer Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Jacobson Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Carleen Rhodes Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Surita Sandosham Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Babette Apland Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Curtis Goering Executive Director 45.00 X 189585 0 32598 Jeff Uecker thru Feb 2017 Chief Financial Officer 45.00 X 123311 0 32487 Bill LeMeiex thru July 2017 Interim Chief Financial Officer 45.00 X 89057 0 1502 Wendy Marcano from July 2017 Chief Financial Officer 45.00 X 0 0 0 Pete Dross Director of External Relations 45.00 X 139668 0 21775 Ruth Barrett Rendler Deputy Director 45.00 X 125808 0 42170 Fawn Bernhardt-Novell Director of Development 45.00 X 119544 0 37737 Neal Porter Directior of Int'l Services 45.00 X 111023 0 13016 Andrea Northwood Director of Client services 45.00 X 107868 0 18434 1005864 0 199719 2 0 1 0 Integrated Direct Marketing 1250 Connecticut Ave NW 200 Washington DC 20036 Direct marketing 108000 1 127300 56000 4369104 434493 4552404 Fees & Contracts 900099 11432902 11432902 Insurance Reimbursement 900099 1242921 1242921 International 900099 370000 370000 Speaking Fees 900099 47768 47768 14700 14700 13108291 117846 117846 429458 429936 -478 -478 -478 17778063 13108291 0 117368 75527 75527 459495 459495 433052 6798 371872 54382 10374259 8412354 1486635 475270 290711 241685 36957 12069 877241 710678 124570 41993 471459 368951 79528 22980 32863 32863 66111 9786 56325 4574 4574 550061 550061 437471 278002 159469 730438 484255 194391 51792 741206 678333 27629 35244 859551 787652 26605 45294 114373 56926 16554 40893 284061 284061 Client Assistance 668821 633846 34484 491 Fees 244347 69963 120207 54177 Printing Services 192467 185376 7091 Common Cost Allocation 0 1011004 -1103416 92412 17908088 14508068 1922962 1477058 X 346913 183968 0 162945 942264 832555 2062377 1568619 481149 782635 243999 315160 2938832 1838211 1291343 1100621 170759 192343 987577 1105805 69209 63087 6248677 5960825 430068 610148 367750 711375 606808 1317 180000 100000 1584626 1422840 X 1301766 1103968 2161177 1962909 1201108 1471108 4664051 4537985 6248677 5960825 -130025 3959 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 3757990 4441488 6648067 4474047 4552404 23873996 3757990 4441488 6648067 4474047 4552404 23873996 2837549 21036447 2510 1757 1428 7314 117846 130855 24004851 48904133 0.87630 0.80970 X Form 990, Part II - Short Year: CVT changed their year-end from December 31 to September 30.
