OUR STORY
At Thrive – Trauma & Torture Recovery Centre
Our journey began with a shared vision to bring diverse and equitable care to the field of refugee mental health. Our team brings together a wealth of lived experience as refugees, coupled with professional expertise in social work and psychotherapy.
Our story is rooted in resilience, much like the olive tree depicted in our logo. Just as the olive tree thrives despite adversity, our team has grown through hardship, migration, and displacement. We understand firsthand the challenges faced by both vulnerable individuals in society dealing with trauma and refugee claimants navigating their unique journeys. We are passionate about providing everyone with the support and resources they need to heal and thrive.
With a deep commitment to advocacy and social justice, we are dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey toward healing and justice. Through our specialized services, including psychological assessment, psychotherapy sessions, and letters of support, we strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can rebuild their lives and reclaim their sense of self.
Our Values
We are not here to dictate how you should live your life. You know yourself best. Our role is to work alongside you, offering support that is tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
